Quote of the day:
“What wondrous life is this I lead!
Ripe apples drop about my head;
The luscious clusters of the vine
Upon my mouth do crush their wine;
The nectarine and curious peach
Into my hands themselves do reach;
Stumbling on melons, as I pass,
Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass.”
~ Andrew Marvell

I’ve never seen anything like that before. Lovely
The fruit in the autumn is even more startling! Watch this space ….
Fascinating. Never seen these before. I adore mulberries and mulberry jam 🙂
I am afraid the fruit is ‘interesting’ rather than to-die-for. Little orange fingers (including what look like fingernails!) appear outside the ball. These are the fruit and they are sweet, rather than tasty.
