What's Growing in the Garden

Gee! The title sounds so profound. I don't really have a garden. It is more like a compost pile sprouting. Whatever grows from burying our veggie and fruit scraps... IT'S IT. For those of you who knows this flower or plant...I didn't know what it was when a bunch of seedlings started growing last year. I had no clue what it was. As it grew, the shape of the leaves changed, it was a vine crawling and intertwining with the tomato plants and up the wired fence and the papaya tree. I don't remember when I finally realized that it was a Lilikoi plant.

So, for the longest time...the kids and I were wondering when it is ever going to bear fruit? Well, all I knew is that before something bears any fruit it has to blossom. Flower first. Fruits second.

Anyway, we are excited that we are finally going to have some lilikoi fruits.

Doesn't this flower look beautiful! Heavenly Father is a great designer.

So, delicate.

Very intricate.

Gorgeous looking flower. I love the purple center of the thin white shredded/julienned looking petals.

Can you see the little tiny fruit? I wonder how long this will take to reach its full size?

You can see the fruit better in this picture. It looks like a gecko's egg.

Here is the link to the fruits that brought these plants to life.
