| Sublime and complex flavor, with a floral component to the aroma. This melon takes about 85 days to maturity, and has some tolerance of cool early season temperatures. A real beauty, too. Nice ribs, smooth, light-green skin that turns partly yellow when ripe. The melons slip easily from the vine. When you notice the color begin to change, check the ends for cracks, as the thin rind is prone to splitting. A bit of duct tape keeps out bugs for some extra time on the vine, if needed. This is my favorite melon of all. |
