It was mentioned that creeping cucumber may have been extirpated in Indiana. I found a specimen in Floyd County, IN, by a creekbed feeding into the Ohio River. I don’t know if the image will attach right.

Thanks for the help in identifying this plant for me! We have it growing in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma. I’m looking forward to harvesting some seeds for next year!
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback!
Thrilled to identify mine in Eastern North Carolina -Pitt County. Looking forward to trying the fruit in salad tomorrow!
