Bob planted a Papaya seed in a bucket many moons ago, we have no idea how many. It has had flowers several times and they always fall off. This one has stayed, and now the bloom has a fruit pod in the middle. Above is one side below is the other side of same fruit/flower. There is another flower about to bloom next to it, and I will TRY to remember to get a shot of it.
I said to Bob... What in Carnation are you doing? are you pollen my leg orchid-ing me? Get out of my photo. Are you all digging this?

| At least the photo bomber that stole the focus from the flower to his legs, has legs worthy of a photo |
His legs are very blogworthy! Wow, this is so cool! I would never even have recognized it as fruit. Will you eat it?
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting bloom! And cute that you captured Bob's legs!
ReplyDeleteHello Sandra, it is cool to finally see a bloom. Now we need to see the fruit. Nice legs! Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I see so many things blooming when I come here. Never seen a papaya tree/bush. Remember all the Leggs panty hose commercials? Bob might want to apply for a job as leg model
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
Loved the puns and all the legs, Sandra. And, I also was wondering if you would eat the fruit.
ReplyDeleteyup, your man is a hunk. :)
ReplyDeleteA hardy bloom after all this time. Will this be Bob's leg-acy?
ReplyDeleteHe does indeed.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun day.
Good legs! We have pawpaws in South Africa and I always heard that you should have two trees next to each other: a male and a female tree. Perhaps this works for papayas as well? Just a thought. But, oh, the legs!
ReplyDeleteCute legs!
ReplyDeleteNature is sure baffling, isn't it? That's an amazing bloom!
I can't wait to see it the fruit matures!!!
ReplyDeleteToo funny!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen this before!!! Fantastic. [the papaya that is] lol
ReplyDeleteso cool! you have such a large variety of plants! love seeing them. :)
ReplyDeleteYep those are blogworthy legs :) Very cool bloom.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to post weekly shots of it as it grows....
ReplyDeleteShould be interesting to see if you get fruit from this.
ReplyDeleteI lemon tree does that, flowers and then they fall off. Hope you get a papaya!
