              Its the time of year for fruits.:)
              Strelitzia seed pods, only get these if crossed with a different plant.

              Asimina, fruits are edible but not ripe yet.

                Edit
                Paw paw. Tried one once. It tasted like tea. I don't like tea.

                    Its only second year from seed but it got infested with RSM last year and got stunted, so I thought it wouldn't flower until next year, but its come late, now I need to get it through the winter for an even better flowering next year.:smile:

                        @noisette47 sent me one many years ago with various cuttings. It got a bit bashed around in the post but was still gorgeous! Stupidly I didn't save the seed. But when I found it was hardy, @pete kindly sent me seed and suckers, and I bought other seed from US, so now I have a range of young plants! My fig grove and pawpaw arbour are now closer to reality...:biggrin:

                            Some people say it's similar to Custard apple,(cherimoya), but never having tried that I can't say.:smile:
                            Bright yellow flesh when ripe and very very sweet, with big black seeds.

                            The Aster is really getting going now, and the butterflies were enjoying it yesterday, along with bees and hoverflies.

                              Albuca shawii surprisingly flowering rather late. It did some a couple of months ago.
