All that you show us is so extravegantly unique and beautiful for us... for the moment, common place in our part of the world is a world of snow crystals... they sparkle in the sun and moonshine, taste refreshing and make great snow cones with some juice over it, or a stick dipped in maple syrop twisted in it. We eat frozen cranberries and rosehips still hanging on their branches and it is almost time to hang out the buckets for gathering birch sap for syrup.... such different worlds!

Here apparently we can buy them canned. Jill says they have quite a slimy texture. I would like to try to grow them but as we get some frosts in winter and moderate temperatures they may not grow here. - DaveDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851174879441602754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-87662644552239406552012-02-15T14:20:35.630+11:002012-02-15T14:20:35.630+11:00I've always thought lychees were like eyeballs...I've always thought lychees were like eyeballs....my husband loves them though!!<br />Love the passion flowerallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009232448247160974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-12273164750673062232012-02-15T13:47:06.322+11:002012-02-15T13:47:06.322+11:00What a great post!
