Bur-cucumber (Sicyos angulatus) tendril at Mine Falls Park in Nashua, New Hampshire

For me the most interesting part by far of Bur-cucumber (Sicyos angulatus) is its tendril. This one is so strongly curled it looks like the handset cord on one of those old-fashioned wired phones. The flower is inconspicuous.
