Here are some pics I have. This is the vine blooming in a tree at a friend's country house. The bloom was way up in the tree, I had to use the zoom and it was my iphone so I had a friend hold a flashlight on it for more light. It's kind of blurry, but it was gorgeous. I smelled the blooms walking by and had to get a flashlight to find it.
Here are some of the fruit along with some mangos and my cat Raui for size if that helps. I notice that I took these in August and the picture of the flowers in July, so I think I'm right that the fruit starts in the middle of the rainy season.
A fruit I cut at my friend's house, shows the stem.
The inside of the fruit, you eat the seeds normally. All of my vines are from fruit that I thought was particularly sweet so I put about a tablespoon of the fruit and seeds in a nook in my rock wall. The rains washed some of it down into the soil and I have vines coming from both places now.
Now, I just wish they would bloom. I'm actually more interested in the blooms than the fruit, I can buy the fruit on every street corner when it is in season. The blooms are so wonderful though. I really need to talk to my neighbors about putting some on their side of the wall.
