Here are two ripe Garcinia magnifolia fruits on the tree. This fruit is rare in Puerto Rico and, apparently also rare in Brazil.

Here are three Eugenia victoriana fruits which are called "Sundrops". The aroma of a ripe fruit is intense and the flavor even more intense. To make a drink add five parts water to one part pulp - and sweeten. Sundrops make a great jam.
This flower is from an Anherstia nobilis tree - one more tree that is known as the "Queen of the flowering trees". Of my trees it is certainly the Queen.
