#Chayote season is over now - in total I harvested more than 25 fruits, each of them between 1 and 2 pounds. Yesterday I cooked chayote & green chile ( jalapeño, serrano + poblano) #soup which was absolutely delicious!!!
Two chayote fruits (resembling big light-green pears) hanging from the plant trailing on metal structure on the backyard garden. Thirteen harvested chayote fruits (resembling big light-green pears) on cream-colored cloth. One chayote fruit resembling a big light-green pear on kitchen scale. Display showing 976 grams.

I finally tasted oak leaf #papaya (Carica quercifolia) fruits. Tastes like mild, sweet papaya, no bitterness, thin skin that doesn’t bother when eating. Seeds are small and can’t be easily removed, so I ate them too and it didn’t bother me at all.
Three fruits hanging from a branch. Fruits resemble papaya, but seems to be much smaller, tho are still green with yellow stripes one is orange like mature papaya. Five orange fruits resembling very small papayas on an open palm. Branch with green leaves behind.

New leaves of #Philodendron Orange Princess are like from another world! They stay like this for about 2 months and then turn green with yellowish marks. Each new leaf is a reason for celebration 🥳. Do you have it in your collection? #variegated #indoorplant #ornamental
Dark green oval leaf with many small intense orange marks. Other green leaf with yellow marks in the back.

#Leucospermum flowers are so intricate - before and after ‘opening’. I don’t see any pollinators interested, but got a few seeds last year. #subtropical #gardening 🌴🌱🌿

#Macadamia bloom time is over now. I am impatiently waiting to see how successful was the pollination (natural) this year while harvesting first nuts from last year that just celebrated its first birthday 😆 #tropicalplants #growfood #urbanfarm 🌴
Several inflorescences of macadamia. Individual flowers are small, dark pink, with white stigma almost twice as long as petals.
