I found this exotic plant at the Homestead Acre in Chatsworth, CA, in the San Fernando Valley, a few miles from where I live. This flowering tree bears fruit, and it is called pineapple guava. I have tasted this fruit a long time ago, and I have not seen them again ever since. A Jewish couple grew them in their backyard, and they have already sold their house.
A festival was held at the Homestead Acre this Sunday and there was a group of ladies wearing hats, and were serving tea and breakfast for charity.
(nothing compared to the hats at the Royal Wedding)
but they were so adorable
I saw some quilts and are sold also for the benefit of some CANCER cause.
