Crenshaw, the melon

Here is a crenshaw melon I bought at Whole Foods. It's soft yellow and tear shaped. The furrows along its length, which meet at the top and bottom, make it look like a cloth drawstring bag with something at the bottom and drawn together at the top. It smells sweet when ripe.Here it is cut open, revealing the seeds and orange flesh.

Though it's orange, the crenshaw melon tastes more like a honeydew than a cantaloupe. The textures of all three melons are the same in my book.
