The brownish fruit on the tree is the Chikku fruit. I have been having my fill of that. One fruit I have never seen sold in Canada. Some people call it "mud apple"- but that is unfair....it has a pear like texture, flat black large seeds and a thin skin which is removed, The colour is mostly brown inside with a hint of green near the skin....and they are very sweet. Wish I could bring some with me. The birds seem to get most of the fruit on our tree in the house.
Looks very tropical doesn't it....our driver Vijay usually sits by the car waiting for us to go somewhere. Sometimes, he visits with the drivers or gate watchmen outside our gates....but always stays within earshot incsse he is called.
Some more colourful photos of the Bangalore garden. The fuchsia pink flowers are the bougainvillea vine. There are many different colours of that around. The purplish blue flowers are just coming out on the Jacaranda trees...reminds me of our tree in Ferozepore.
Beautiful red lillies (the kinds we get in the winter)in pots outside the windows...also a kind of a cactus that is in bloom
