Does it give you good fruit?

You mean the ones that taste like a mix of pineapple and bananas? If so, yes, for sure!
But the tricky part is NEVER eat it unripe, because it is poisonous when still green.

@PiñonJ , as I am sure you know, "deliciosa" in many languages mean "delicious, tasty, おいしい 。"
I guess the Latin name "delicious monster" refers to the fruit.
I am not sure, but it makes sense.
Se non è vero, è molto ben trovato..

Darn Iris didn't bloom back in the Spring when it's supposed to, now! it tries to bloom.
Low Christmas night 10º F or -12ºC.
Now I wish I had cut it back in the Fall to save energy for Spring.

Hardy cyclamen coum and heucheras are the best. Former are about to start blooming.

Yes, when I saw the name, I had to research it, because it looks like some kind of Philodendron. I love tropical fruit, so I was intrigued!

Cherry tree sapling, sun dial, obligatory mushroom, dinner bell, at the end of the backyard is a lake with geese (and snakes) so I do wear snake boots when in the yard! Oh yes and the ever present Florida pink flamingo!

Wires?
WIRES?
Nature around here needs no wires.

 

[Forsoothe!]

Aha! Not so. Nature has lots of vines that style, so to speak, as they please. In fact that is much the same as some of the people I have known, and others seen here, their product shows every bit as much forethought as Mother Nature! (Mother Nature does occasionally get it right on the money.)

I hope it's appropriate to post these images here, but I've got a lot of wildlife in my yard. These are all screen grabs from a camera on the fence that separates my back yard and my back-back yard.

Quail


Opossum and Owl (see his eyes under his tail)


Woodpecker (stay away from my potted trees!)


Gray fox looking for rabbits.


Bobcat chillin' on a nice afternoon.


Owl going after a rat (he got away).


Two owls.


Scrub jay.


Racoon.

Large owl.


Bobcat butt.


I've got deer and coyotes, but nothing on camera. Lots of other birds and some lizards too.

I have a couple mountain lion videos too, but they are hard to see in still form and I haven't posted my videos anywhere yet.
