>>>>>ends up with little white flowers 

Hmm, the one I have has clusters of yellow flowers, kinda looks like
yarrow flowers but they have a very short life.  The loofa is really
cool, I have 4 little babies right now on 2 different vines and they
look like little birdhouse gourds.  When they are ready you just boil
the skin off, dry it for a day or so and that's it!  Perhaps I can share
some of my seeds with you when they are ready.  I am definantly going in
search of a coriander plant this weekend, it sounds wonderful.  My
stomach is now growling up a storm.  =o]
