Yaquina Bay Lighthouse
Wild Gourd

      
Another plant
      along the lower trail is the wild gourd, easily identified by
      its curly tendrils that help it cling to the steep slopes below
      the lighthouse. In spring, the gourd vines are covered with waxy
      white flowers, followed by small fruits that ripen by late summer.
      The entire plant dies over the winter.
