Flora challenge: A confession
I have to hold my hands up - when I set this quiz, I made the (apparently incorrect) assumption that our gardener would know what these trees were. At least in Swahili. Unfortunately not. This being the case the answers to the quiz are:
a) Banana - well done all entrants
b) Don't know, but not edible (well done Steve)
c) Paw-Paw (Guy, you were so close!)
d) Don't know, but not edible. But in honour of Jane, this shall forever be known as the 'Mobongo Tree' (I admit, you had me fooled for a minute!)
Anyway, none and all were winners, respect and esteem all round (except for me of course).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a by-the-by, this is our 100th post! What a ride it's been...
[By the way, the picture is an African banana up close (one from our tree I believe). They're mostly orange on the inside!]

We forgive you, but now you have your own "Flora Challenge"to identify said bushes and report back.We'll give youa week or two.
On a different tack, how about getting the kids to help you do a blog once in a while.
Ah, we forgive you too. Good game, Good game! Can we play a swahili word guesing game now? Please....
I've made my answers up already.
Also Libby, how about some local recipes. Michael is going to college in September to start a two/three year catering course, it would be fun to try something different. (Not too different though, I'm a bit of a coward. Just something we wouldn't normally have to cook). Love all round, X Jane.
