Hello Luiz!
How beautiful those flowers are - but my jaw dropped when I saw the tree with the fruit! I have never seen fruit growing like that!

Thanks for visiting and kind words while I was on vacation! I am back now, after a great trip to Sweeden! :)
Wish you a great week!

As jaboticabeiras neste ano estão florindo bem antes da época.
Normalmente elas deveriam florir em setembro ou outubro.

Hello Luiz, Wonderful photos. I love all of these beautiful images. The first one I saw on vacation and think it was called a lollypop flower but I don't know its scientific name.

Great pictures Luiz..

Here is the information I found for you in english.
-Cheers Gisela.

The Jabuticaba (also called Brazilian Grape Tree, Jaboticaba, Jabotica, Guaperu, Guapuru, Hivapuru, Sabará and Ybapuru) is a fruit-bearing tree native to Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. The fruit is purplish black, with a white pulp; it can be eaten raw or be used to make jellies and drinks (plain juice or wine). The name is derived from the Tupi word Jabuti (tortoise) + Caba (place), meaning the place where you find tortoises.

Hi Luiz,

My father grows a flower like that in you first photo but it died, I used to like it very much but now it's gone, maybe he will grow another one soon. I also have an orchid like that one on the second photo.
