Durians

Durians! The  King of fruits.  Our line dance teacher gave us each a few durians from her sister's durian orchard.  How nice of her.    Though the durians were small they were very delicious and the seeds were so small.  Thanks Kelly.  The durians shown here are the D24 species.  There was another species of the more orangy type and they were even more yummy.  Couldn't take any photos as my daughter has taken my camera.

Pomelo

This photo of my pomelo plant was taken more than a week ago and now it is the size of a tennis ball.  There was another pomelo fruit but that dropped off when it was about a fifty sen coin.  Hopefully this one will grow to its full size and I have wrapped up the pomelo with a piece of paper to prevent any insects from attacking it.

I was so happy when the first batch of pomelos came out last year but it was shortlived.  Both dropped off when they were the size of a fifty sen coin.   Subsequently the tree bore another fruit and this time it grew until the size bigger than a tennis ball (diameter about 3.5 ").  My happiness was shortlived when it couldn't last and dropped off too. What a big disappointment!

This is a medium size pomelo which my colleague, Shin Yuan brought to the office to share. It costs RM8.00. The flesh is sweet and springy.  This fruit is so refreshing!
