Tropical Fruit and Flower Garden
Taste the tropics, picking fruit from the garden, or tickle your senses with the beauty and fragrance of our tropical flowers.We pick mangos from our balcony, or almonds, avocados, breadfruit, bananas, chinola, citrus, guavas, and rollos (similar to bananas) growing around the yard, when they're in season. Les has a favorite coconut palm tree at the back of the condo. We've watched it grow from just reaching the first storey level, to now brushing its' fronds on our 3rd level mezzanine window. The coconut pickers, who come to harvest our coconut crop every few months, know it's "off-limits" for picking. Vegetation thrives in the 12-month growing season, rewarding a gardener's efforts with its' rapid progress. It's a landscape artist's dream, and Les's ongoing work in progress. Our cactus generates a rare blossom, that comes out for one night. Luckily, we noticed it the night it emerged, and were able to get a picture.
