    @Pacnorwest

    amazingdiscoveries.tv was not working just now. It might be my internet, but amazingdiscoveries.org works fine. It may be they redid their web address? You should be able to find the ones I mentioned on the .org too.

    Wow! I had no idea this thread which I started grew so large. Amazing! And what a delight to read.

    Anyway, I'll now add one more plant to my list. And that would be the Australian finger lime.

    I recently got few different types of limes. The Tahiti lime, Key lime, Persian lime, Chinese lime, and my own local Pakistani limes. So now I just require the Australian finger lime, and the circle would be complete!

    Finally, a long awaited dream of mine could might get fulfilled now! As I just found a cashew nut tree sapling available online! I'm going to order one before it vanishes away. I believe it's imported from Vietnam.

    I want lilacs but it's too hot here to grow them. When I was a kid we had the whole back of the yard lined with them and they were 15' tall. I always had the job to pick them to fill vases full in the house. They perfumed the whole yard and the whole house. They small so good !!

    I think some of the modern ones are less fragrant. Korean lilacs in my yard were so fragrant I could smell them across the street. Some of the old ones in my yard are also pretty strong.

    Twenty years back, we bought around ten tissue cultured lilacs at a garden show and planted them at my previous house. When we bought the farm house, it was my job to move them here. Plus there were a few that starred as offsets from old shrubs.

    And my Indian sandalwood tree seedling has just arrived! I immediately planted it in a pot until it's strong enough to be planted in the ground somewhere.
