The medium-sized oval dark green fruits are covered with pea-sized bright yellow “stars” and usually one larger “moon.” The fruits have sweet pink flesh and brown seeds. Foliage is also spotted.
Looks purple to me. Too bad the seeds are sold out! Link -via J-Walk Blog

They’re actually pretty common at local fruit stands. I’ve grown them before and they really are green, not purple. The fruit is way sweeter than the “regular” variety of watermellons you get at the store.

They must be a genetic chimera like the calico cat. Very cool. Never seen one before. Want.
