Luffa (Luffa aegyptiaca), sometimes written "loofah," is an annual vine in the cucumber family that grows quickly and has 10 drills. When pollinated, its enormous yellow blossoms yield gourds and draw butterflies and bees to the plant. The palm-shaped leaves on the up to 30-foot-long vines measure 10 inches in length. | Small Vegetable Garden
