The Papaya that froze back last winter is starting to bloom again.
Also, the first banana to bloom since the freeze is popping out a bud.
The Starfruit are sending out lots of blooms. The fruit should be ready by September.
Sabal palms are also ready to burst into bloom with their nectar-laden flowers.
Bamboo is sending up new shoots.

This is really interesting--thank you for posting, especially the photographs! I garden in Zone 8, so I have much different growing conditions than you. We are going to be getting our first 90 degree weather of the season today, for just one example! Also, I love macadamia nuts and make a macadamia nut and banana pancake recipe that is so good! Served with pineapple and coconut.
ReplyDeleteOh those pesky squirrels! I'd love to grow macadamias and star fruit. I wonder if they would grow in our area....
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear about your papaya! I'm going to give it another go in my garden, but with a better well drained spot this time.
ReplyDeleteI just love getting to visit the tropics through your TGP link- just so different from our apples and peaches here. :-)
