Where can I try a rare Abiu fruit and what does it taste like?
- 🍋 Abiu tree (Pouteria caimito), or Harvest Moon Sapote - is a must-try rare tropical fruit with a striking appearance and incredible flavor.
- 🍋 About the size of a medium apple, Abiu ripens to a bright, sunny yellow that hints at the deliciousness inside. Beneath its somewhat thick, sturdy skin, which contains a bit of sticky latex when cut, lies a jelly-like, ultra-juicy flesh that's sweet, smooth, and completely acid-free.
- 🍋 Its flavor is often compared to the luscious taste of Chrysophyllum cainito (Star Apple that we mentioned earlier), making it a favorite among tropical fruit lovers.
- 🍋 Each fruit typically has one elongated seed nestled within, and Abiu is often grown from seed.
- 🍋 Abiu is very hard to find tropical fruit tree, and you won't find this fruit in supermarkets. So the only way to taste it - to grow your own!
- 🍋 With its vibrant color, unique texture, and tropical sweetness, Abiu is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add a touch of the exotic to their rare fruit collection!

How mini is Mini Monstera?
🍀 Rhaphidophora tetrasperma - often called Mini Monstera, Monstera Ginny, or Dwarf Monstera, is a rare collectible for plant enthusiasts.

What is an easy growing butterfly bush for a low maintenance landscape?
☀️ Cassia bahamensis (Senna mexicana) - Bahama Senna is a fantastic addition to low-maintenance landscapes, especially in Southern gardens.
☀️ This hardy, compact shrub is beloved for its dense, lush green foliage and abundant clusters of vibrant golden-yellow flowers that bloom from fall to early spring.
☀️ The blooms are not only visually striking but also serve as an essential nectar source for butterflies, particularly the Cloudless Sulphur butterfly, making it a pollinator magnet.
☀️ What makes Bahama Senna a landscaper's favorite is its remarkable resilience. It's highly drought-tolerant, thrives in full sun, and requires little water once established - perfect for areas with water restrictions or hot climates.
☀️ Its low-growing, compact habit (typically under 5 feet) makes it ideal for small gardens, borders, or containers, where it adds a splash of color without overwhelming other plants.
☀️ Additionally, its evergreen foliage provides year-round interest, and it requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape, making it truly low-maintenance.
☀️ For those looking for a beautiful, easy-care shrub that attracts pollinators and brightens the garden with golden hues, Bahama Senna is an outstanding choice.
