4. So beautiful!

I have a wonderful avocado tree...and I took a picture of my first avocado! Just one, not a nice as yours, but your photo made me think of how excited I was to see what my tree was growing!

Thank you for the thread.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. You're very welcome, my dear Scottie Mom!

Sharing the beauty that I'm lucky to see is who I am.

Good luck with your avocado tree! They get pretty big, eventually.

[Scottie Mom]

7. My tree is will be 15 years old this July.

The first few years, just a few avocados.

The last two years, hundreds of them. I gave away more than I can count.

Actually, I discovered my first avocado when it was about the size of the ones in your picture.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Wow! Please forgive me for talking down to you!

You obviously know what you’re doing!

Congrats!

They are beautiful trees.

[Scottie Mom]

10. Oh, no! I did NOT take your reply that way at all!

Avocado trees, as I understand it, have to have a mate somewhere to pollinate them. It seems that for the first few years, this was not happening. Then all of a sudden, WOW, something turned it on!!

I’m not 100% sure about the pollination, but that is what I was told.

You are so kind and gracious to everyone. Again, no disrespect meant. Just sharing.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. You're quite right about pollination. I've read that too.

Thank you for your gracious reply!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Awww, my dear Callalily! That would be a trip for sure!

It's a lovely little market. More stuff than I could reasonably show!

You and I would have a blast!

If you're ever in SoCal.........let me know!

14. What gorgeous flowers!

These are all very nice, but the flowers particularly caught my eye. Such a luscious assortment of rich, vivid colors.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. I thank you so much, my dear ShazzieB!

When I posted all those flowers, I thought that maybe I was overdoing it.

I guess not!

I love the rich, vivid colors too.

So many interesting colors, textures, and patterns! I can almost smell that freshly baked bread!

Thank you for sharing the sights with us!
