What rhymes with galia melon?
galia mel·on

The Galia melon, also known as Sarda in Southeast Asia, is a type of F₁ hybrid melon originating from a cross between the green flesh melon cultivar "Ha-Ogen" and the netted rind melon cultivar "Krimka". Developed in Israel at the Ne´ve Yaar Research Center of the Agricultural Research Organization by the melon breeder Dr. Zvi Karchi and released in 1973, Galia melon was named after the first name of Karchi's daughter that means "God's wave" in Hebrew. The average weight for a galia melon is one kilogram. They have a rounded shape, a dense netting of rough line on the skin, become yellow at full maturity, they are sweet and aromatic, with a special aroma and flavor and a very high content of total soluble solids. Ripeness is measured not by softness at the stem but rather by color and fragrance. Left at room temperature, Galias keep well, but after cutting, uneaten pieces should be wrapped and refrigerated to preserve taste. They are not particularly difficult to grow. Galias are now grown in Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Southern U.S. regions, Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras, Greece, Turkey, Israel and Egypt.
