Selenicereus megalanthus - Yellow Pitaya, Dragon Fruit, is the best tasting Dragon Fruit in the world that is not only sweet, it has a great flavor (unlike
most Pitayas that are pretty watery). This particular species of Dragon fruit doesn't mind regular water and rains but is also
drought-tolerant.
In this video you will find out how to grow this plant and how to make it fruit.

"...Edging the golf course of the club was a glorious sweep of
glowing purple. Even before I was near enough to identify the trees, the rich,
heady perfume which filled the air told me they were Bauhinias. The sight left me
breathless and it was then I realized how difficult was the attempt I was
making to describe in mere words the trees I know better how to paint..."
(D. Cowen, "Flowering trees and shrubs of India")
Bauhinia blakeana - Hong Kong Orchid Tree, is the most beautiful of all
orchid trees, and the most wanted one. It has the largest flowers, brightly
colored. Winter bloomer. These trees start flowering in very small size, when
only 2-3 ft tall!
Certainly seeing flowering Bauhinia blakeana is one of the best things a
plant collector will love about winter. It truly is the most beautiful orchid
tree!

Ed's Avocado seedling blooming at age 2.5 years old... Go figure!
Q: Can I plant a seed from a store bought avocado and expect it
to bear fruit?
A: Avocados grown from seed do not always come true, meaning being the same as the avocado that produced the seed being planted. Also, avocados grown from
seed will take upwards of 8 years to flower and bear fruit unless grown by Ed Jones and his witchcraft. Ed Jones, the Avocado Guy... Yes,
he is also the Mango Guy, and the Booster Guy... We don't know how he does it. He grows the most beautiful fruit trees, many of them from seed and they all
seem to flower within two years! (See his blogs about his Star Fruit, Olive trees, and video about Shaping Mango Trees). All we know for sure, he uses
Sunshine Boosters for all his plant experiments.
As far as Avocado
, we recommend a grafted variety, where a scion, or branch tip, of a known cultivar is grafted to good rootstock. These trees will usually flower right away and bear good amount of fruit within a couple
of years of being planted in the ground.
