So many flowers! 🥰
Jamaican cherry (Muntingia calabura) is all of a sudden full of flowers.
Curry tree (Murraya koenigii) has blooms on every branch. One flowered a bit too early and I tried hand-pollinating it. I just put it beside the blueberries so the bees will find it. The flowers smell like pungent jasmine.
And my Cherry of the Rio Grande (E involucrata) has its first blooms at 3yo! ❤️

Black sapote fruit by apomixis.
First pic, July 2nd, lone female flower, 2 1/2yo seedling.
2nd pic, Jan. 3rd, nearly 3yrs old. Still have another month or two till fruit ripens.
Easy tree, low maintenance, pest resistant, survived freak hailstorm, hurricane and tropical storms and fruit didn’t fall off, major plus.
Will update on the fruit quality. The bar is set low though bc I’ve only had bad black sapotes.

Pink guavas ripening in my garage. First pic was when they were still outside, Nov.3. Second pic was last night. 🥰

A tiny overlooked orchid in a far corner of the garden is enough to brighten the day #tropicalgardening #teagarden #orchids

My Vriesea is perfectly happy with the rain and sultry heat (bright red spears with yellow fireworks cascading down the sides) - no doubt remembering it’s central American origins #tropicalplants #tropicalgardening #tāmakimakaurau #AotearoaNZ

Found this little assassin bug on a pitangatuba in my sunroom. He looks well fed. Who’s a good boy?

@drymifolia I think we might just have to hashtag the heck out of it for the community to grow.
Can you think of more?

@drymifolia hey, I was hoping a tropical fruit community would develop here. Maybe we could add hashtags like #tropicalfruit #tropicalgardening so we can find each other?
I’ve been encouraging my tf buddies but they’re kind of dragging their heals… :ablobcatbongo: :ablobcatrave:

Am experimenting this year on getting my tropicals to survive UK winter. One banana 🍌 , and the citrous 🍋 🍊 in the greenhouse, 2 bananas, wrapped in straw and fleeced, 2 bananas and bougainvillea in the conservatory. Palms 🌴 left to fend for themselves 🤞 #tropicalGardening
