🍋 What fruit is more sour and has more vitamin C than a lemon

🍸Costa Rican Guava, Cas Guava (Psidium friedrichsthalianum) is native to Central America and known for its intensely sour taste, which makes it perfect for flavorful juices and beverages rather than eating fresh.

🍸Cas Guava fruit is used in traditional Costa Rican drink "Agua de Cas," a refreshing blend of cas juice, water, and sugar.

🍸Cas Guava fruit is packed with vitamin C: about four times more vitamin C than a lemon, making it an excellent immune booster. It's also rich in antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation.

🍸Cas guava tree is pretty hardy, thriving in poor soils and resisting pests and diseases.

When Peach trees are in full bloom

🍑 Our Peach trees are in full bloom now. Early Spring started in January this year in Florida!

🌹 Why is it called Nun Orchid

🔠 Phaius tankervilleae – Chinese Ground Orchid - is a magnificent terrestrial orchid. It is also called the Nun Orchid because its flowers resemble the traditional white wimple and brown habit worn by nuns. The graceful, nodding blooms with white, rose, and brown hues create a shape reminiscent of a nun's veil. A truly heavenly plant!

🔠 It forms large clumps of bold, sword-like leaves and sends up towering flower spikes that can reach four feet tall! Each spike carries 10-20 fragrant blooms, unfurling in succession for an extended show.

🔠 The flowers are a striking mix of white, rose, and brown, blooming brilliantly in late spring, with peak flowering in March and April.

🔠 This hardy orchid spreads naturally, producing a new plant each year from a short bulb-like runner. It prefers shade, especially under trees, and can handle dry periods before its grand floral display.

🔠 Perfect for mass plantings, as a specimen in part shade, or even in pots, this orchid brings grace, beauty, and an exotic touch.
