You have so many great plants!

Thanks Rina; lifetime collection :)

A white plant?

Great as always!

Lovely!

Apparently the flowers only open 1-3 hours in the afternoon? No wonder it's tough to catch open.

Nice plant!,

Thanks all. After a good search I found a picture from 2009. An Avonia ruschi in flower. The flowers are all the same in Avonia. So here it is:

Cute lil devil. Understand they can be rather challenging to grow.

Very nice. I have seedlings of these. The papery stuff starts out right away. ewwmayo says they look like eels. (He likes eels.)

You bet I like eels! These are great. :D

Eels as in food or just to watch?

Can I say both? Anago and unagi to eat. Spotted garden eels to watch. Avonia to grow, haha.

Have never eaten eel. Does it taste like any other common foods or does it have it's own particular flavor?

Eel is fairly light tasting and the meat can be quite soft with a little chew. It's not very flaky. It tastes like fish, but like many fish they don't all taste the same.

One of my favourite foods!
