# Had a mystery plant absolutely taking over my peony so it got a new…

_Posted by Snowstorm on 2024-07-09_

Had a mystery plant absolutely taking over my peony so it got a new pot today! My mum thinks it’s either a cucumber or watermelon… planta keeps changing what it thinks it is; but now there’s 2 blooms so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 it survives its transplant and the blooms grow fruit!

In my experience watermelon leaves are more silvery

Ok interesting. Thanks! These are very green but the backs of the leaves are a bit prickly. The stems have hairs but aren’t prickly. They also have little vines that seem to want to wrap around something to hold on. Fingers crossed it survies its transplant and those blooms grow. I’m dying to find out what it is!!!

Looks like cucumber but maybe not

Sadly I never found out what it was. The transplant didn’t take so it never grew any more. Had a reeeeeeeally long tap root tho! (Which I don’t think I dug out enough and that’s why it died. Was more than 18” long!!!)
