I finally tasted oak leaf #papaya (Carica quercifolia) fruits. Tastes like mild, sweet papaya, no bitterness, thin skin that doesn’t bother when eating. Seeds are small and can’t be easily removed, so I ate them too and it didn’t bother me at all.

Three fruits hanging from a branch. Fruits resemble papaya, but seems to be much smaller, tho are still green with yellow stripes one is orange like mature papaya.

Five orange fruits resembling very small papayas on an open palm. Branch with green leaves behind.

Ms. Harris would have been a great president of this country…

Elad Nehorai @eladn.bsky.social · Aug 1

Seeing Kamala Harris openly say that the system is broken was so powerful.

Just having someone in her position say it so candidly without qualification was beyond powerful.

New leaves of #Philodendron Orange Princess are like from another world! They stay like this for about 2 months and then turn green with yellowish marks. Each new leaf is a reason for celebration 🥳. Do you have it in your collection? #variegated #indoorplant #ornamental
