I have some friends in Miami who like to plant and grow plants and trees as much as I do

I put Rocky into the witness protection program. I did not exactly tell him I was going to blog about him

or did I?

I cant remember, but he belongs there anyway

He is a really fascinating person

He was a notorious figure in the 1980's

I wont say what his life style was at the time but just think

of go fast boats, back in the day they were called cigarette boats

Key West, Miami Beach, mansions, millions, water islands.

If you ever get to meet such a person, let them tell you their story

Its much better than movies, specials, books or documentaries

You get to imagine what it was like from the other end of the stick

Its a road only a few have walked and that all im going to say about that!

Anyway Rocky grew up and changed his lifestyle for the better

These pretty, delectable beauties are called

Balsam Apple, Cundeamor
Momordica balsamina

It is indeed a very noxious, invasive weed.

Parts of plant are poisonous if ingested

Evidently that part I ate was, the red seeds

my fingers got numb

This plant is medicinal if you know what your doing

After reading more about this pant your are not suppose

to swallow the red seed ,just chew them and spit them out

This is a huge guanábana tree . I have a little one

this is a pic of the fruit just starting to grow
the picture above this one shows a bigger fruit

This is a aloe in bloom , yes they boom in Florida. The a

actual plant is underneath this bush
