Cantaloupe bush flowers (Cantaloupe bush flowers)
Description
Cantaloupe (muskmelon, mushmelon, rockmelon, sweet melon) or spanspek (South Africa) refers to a variety of the Cucumis melo species in the Cucurbitaceae family. Cantaloupes range in weight from 0.5 to 5 kilograms (1 to 11 lb). Originally, cantaloupe referred only to the non-netted, orange-fleshed melons of Europe, but may mean any orange-fleshed melon of C. melo. China is the world's largest producer of cantaloupes, providing half of the global total in 2016.
