June is not a total let down. I see these flowers through our guest room window: I call them jungle fire. Anyone knows the real name? I have them in 3 colours - orange, pink and yellow

Yes - the botanical name is " Caesalpinia Pulcherrima " and although the common name tends to vary from Country to Country - they are most commonly known as " The Pride of Barbados " or " The Peacock Flower "

Thank you. Strange that it has so many names.

This is too much I say. No laughing matter this - tell your cat that.

Gorgeous really!!!!!!!

The cat, his name is Sarafi, is his own person. He makes his own decisions and laughs at whatever he wishes.

He lives four houses away but has decided that he also owns our garden and house.

I have had this experience too. So many have come and gone leaving behind indelible memories.

Gorgeous! We've got a cat like that - don't know where she lives or what her name is, but my friend decided she's called Maude. I often joke to Ian that we're just here to tend 'her' garden for her

I like the choice of name. Was it from the old song?

Sarafi was very aloof at first but Mrs Bootsy has now got him under her spell.

Looks like Safari is hypnotized (lol)

They will get smashed and that is not how a jackfruit is dealt with

I have had jack fruit in a lovely Indian curry here. I could have sworn it was chicken and the gentleman behind the counter had to reassure me it wasn't as I had to do in turn to my vegetarian coworker. I've not been able to buy it fresh and would love to.

I have four trees and two of them at this moment are packed with fruits. I give them away as I have yet to find someone who would just pluck them and pay me for them.

How would your vegetarian co-worker know it tasted of chicken??

He would sure know what a jackfruit tastes like
