🍊 The truth about Papaya:
  1. it is grass, and
  2. it can go transgender!

    3. The secret facts of Papaya's private life.
    • 📌 Did you know that Papaya technically is not a tree? It is a large herbaceous plant, usually with a single, straight trunk that can reach 30 feet!
    • 📌 Many dwarf varieties available in selection, reaching only 6-8 ft tall, but producing large crops of full size fruit - they are easy to harvest.
    • 📌 Papaya trees have very complex gender mechanism, but the bottom line is - the tree can chance its sex based on conditions! Many varieties are self-fertile, but it always recommended to plant a few trees for cross-pollination and better yield.
    • 📌 The sweetest Papaya is from so called "Solo" cultivars: the fruit is usually round or oval, on a smaller side, but super sweet.
    • 📌 Fruit from Solo cultivars are not susceptible to fruit flies.
    • 📌 Being officially a tropical plant, Papaya is pretty cold resistant and can withstand light freeze without significant damage.
    • 📌 Surprisingly, Papayas are also hurricane-resistant plants and can take strong winds without damage. They still stand when other trees are down!
    • 📌 Papaya is one of the Super-Foods thanks to papain - a natural enzyme containing in this fruit. Papaya fruit offers the best digestive aid! Eat some papaya after each meal to maintain healthy digestion.
    • 📌 Try papaya leaf wraps for cooking meats - you won't need a meat tenderizer!
    • 📌 Easy to grow trees, Papayas don't take any space in the garden, but bring so much goodness into your life!

Stop! Dont touch! Just smell that magic fragrance

Easter Lily Cactus (Echinopsis sp)

🌵 Stop! Don't touch! Just smell that magic fragrance... 😭
  • 💠 Easter Lily Cactus (Echinopsis sp) is native to Brazil and Argentina. It is a globular cactus that produces splendid night-blooming, white fragrant flowers up to 10" long!
  • 💠 Big, white or pink, fragrant blooms.
  • 💠 Flowers open at night or early morning, creating a magical experience.
  • 💠 Blooms last only a day or two, making each one special.
  • 💠 Cool shapes: unique, spiny, ribbed bodies come in different forms and sizes.
  • 💠 Easy Care: low-maintenance, very little water, lots of sunlight, and well-draining soil. Adapted to survive in harsh, dry environments, it can take both drought (obviously - cactus) and rainy seasons (like we have in Florida).
  • 💠 Great for water-saving gardens and container culture.
  • 💠 Many species and hybrids to collect, with a range of colors and forms.
