Bottle Gourd



Bottle Gourd is a vine grown for its fruit.  My mom told me it can be harvested young as a vegetable.  However bottle gourd was one of the first cultivated plants in the world, grown not primarily for food, but for use as a water container.  Like in the Chinese Kungfu movies, they use bottle gourd that is crafted as a tool for carrying wine.    I got few dried bottle gourds which I’m thinking to put an art onto it.  Ahh..LOok likes I got something to do now.
