Serendipitously, Botany Photo of the Day had the blossoms of this plant on a few days ago. Here is the link:

Green, spiky, bulbous plant
by: Miriam

I believe Anita is correct. I googled plants with spiky fruit and there are several good websites that show the wild cucumber and describe your picture to a "t"! It's a fascinating plant. The article says that the root underneath can weigh 100 lbs. or more and is called a manroot. It is the first plant that will come back if there is fire in the area. I love your picture, too.
Green Bulbous Plant with Spiky Thorns

This looks like a greener, plumper healthier version of the same wild cucumber vine we have growing here in New York's woodlands. Foliage also resembles ours.
