⚡️Wonder why Horny Wonder?

🌭 Ceropegia ampliata, commonly known as the Horny Wonder, has unique flowers resemble small lanterns, parachutes, or... Some insist that they look like "happy wieners," which is how they earned their cheeky nickname, "Horny Wonder."

These intricate flowers are specifically adapted to attract and temporarily trap flies for pollination. The flies enter the flower seeking nectar, and while inside, they inadvertently pick up pollen, which they then carry to other flowers, facilitating cross-pollination.

🍓 What fruit tree will produce right away? Strawberry Tree!

  • 🍒 Want a fruit tree that will produce for you right away? That's the one. Strawberry tree, or Cotton Candy - Muntingia calabura. So, why Strawberry and why Cotton Candy?

  • 🍒 Pretty white flowers with 4-5 petals look exactly like flowers of a Strawberry plant - hence the name.

  • 🍒 The fruit as so sweet and tasty, have no acid whatsoever - this is why it is also called Cotton Candy!

  • 🍒 This is probably the most profuse and rewarding fruiting tree! From spring to fall, you will harvest 2 crops a day once the plant is established.

  • 🍒 Easy to grow, fast growing tree of a medium size 20 ft tall, and graceful umbrella-like shape. Drought tolerant, once established. Requires almost no care, however, it is sensitive to freeze. But if you live outside of Tropics - it grows well and fruits non-stop in containers!
