Surprisingly, I had to bump up the Cherimoya seedlings I started indoors, over the winter, and transplanted to quart pots, in May, to gallon pots, already. Roots were growing through drainage holes. I also had to bump up an Abiu seedling, and a Sweetsop seedling (another Annona, like Cherimoya, and PawPaw relative).
Also, while out in the yard today, I was able to get the pic below, while a bumble bee was pollinating kumquat blossoms. Although in the genus Fortunella, and not Citrus, kumquats are closely related enough, for hybrids, like limequats, to have been made. These flowers are fragrant, and smell like other citrus blooms. Tropical plants love summers, here. It's the period beginning in mid-fall and running through early spring, they don't like...

I am surprised that the plant below is blooming, this early, in the year. I planted it in the spring. It is a GREVILLEA hybrid of G. victoriae, named 'Constance'. Grevilleas usually flower in fall and winter months. For someone living in a temperate zone, I like this early blooming quality, which gives me a chance to see it bloom before protection goes on.
Grevilleas are subtropical proteas. Anybody growing any varieties of Proteas?

Here is a BREADFRUIT TREE, Artocarpus altilis, I got. For anyone who did not know, breadfruit is a tropical fruit, commonly grown in the Pacific Islands, South America, Caribbean, and Central America. This cultivar is a more compact-growing variety (Ma'Fallala) , than regular breadfruits, and therefore, more adaptable to container-growing. Breadfruit trees are ultra-tropical, so will likely be one of the first plants to come inside, this fall. It's kinda big, already, in its 3 gallon pot..

Here are two Citrus trees I got. One came from Four Seasons Citrus Growers, and the other came from Brite Leaf Citrus Nursery. Both are pretty big, in tall tree pots, and stand about 4 feet tall. One is a 'Washington Navel' ORANGE, and the other is a, 'OroBlanco' GRAPEFRUIT. Anybody else growing edible Citrus?..
