This little guy came every day to feed from these beautiful, but strange looking flowers.
To the left is a banana bloom....they hack it off before it opens so that the bananas will not ripen too soon.
This is an ice cream bean. It's really a fruit, and inside of it are black seeds the size of your thumb that are encased in this white, moist, fibery stuff that is cool and sweet when you suck it off the seed.
Below is a guanabana....another fruit that is used to make really good juice. Mom was almost hit in the head with one when it fell from the tree as she walked beneath it on her way up the hill to Uncle Al's.
If you look carefully at the plant below, you may be able to see that the stem grows downward, as opposed to the one on the left that grows up.
