Another First Time Ever Bloom - Jamaican Cherry Tree - Muntingia calabura
First time flower buds in the leaf axis which, opens to a strawberry
like blossom, hence one of two common names. Finally moved it to
a larger pot due to it drying out to often. Had I not repotted this plant
I may not have noticed the flower buds. This specimen was purchased
from our downtown Farmer's market this past fall.
A common long legged green fly accompanies this sub tropical plant.
Also known as a Condylostylus patibulatus, in some circles. Looking
quite stealth.
