A L O H A From Honolulu!
"Omni-Reaching Papaya Tree"
Fine fruit is the flower
of commodities. It is the
most perfect union of the
useful and the beautiful
that the earth knows.
Trees full of soft foliage;
blossoms fresh with
spring bounty; and,
finally, fruit, rich,
bloom-dusted, melting,
and luscious.
Andrew Jackson Downing
A Mango In The Streets. . .
And the fruits will outdo
what the flowers have promised.

A fruit is a vegetable
with looks and money.
Plus, if you let fruit rot,
it turns into wine,
something brussel sprouts
never do.

Smiling at that last quote - but then I loathe brussel sprouts.
