Feijoia flowers

My Pineapple Guavas have blossomed their little hearts out this year - fingers crossed for fruit.

Sorry, still no good at posting photos - have added the second one

Outdoors Cam, in a big pot, but I'll be planting it in the ground next year along with its little brother. Here's big brother, with some mates:

Cheers all, I'm really thrilled with them this year. The flowers are edible and very pleasant, but of course I can't touch them or I'll ruin my chances for fruit.

Makes up for the slow progress of the Banana Passionfruit, which is just getting into gear now. This time last year it had the first flowers and the first fruit by 10th July.

Here's hoping for a long, late season!

Absolutely amazing; what a beautiful plant.  I hope they develop into fruit. 

Where did you get the seeds from Amazin?

I bought mine as plants Pauline, about £7 each from a garden centre.

I've tried them from seeds and they germinated pretty well but then the usual tragedy struck and they were some creature's breakfast.
You can get the seeds from Jungle Seeds:

Be warned - that site is addictive!

Sorry, GW, that one just did a Red Arrows -  went zooming straight over!

Try again (think 'Janet & John').

Is it to do with taking close ups? If so, there's only one bud left still unopened, so let me know quick!

Sorry folks, I missed the opening of that final bud.

One small consolation though...

IT'S FRUITING!
