    Also you will all be glad to see that I recycled a paint pot from the construction thread.
    Hopefully that will help my carbon footprint given the bonfires I have once a week.

    We have a shop a few minutes away that makes pots from recycled tyres.
    They makes rubbish bins in various sizes too. Our large main roadside rubbish bin is a recycled re shaped tyre

    I've noticed quite a few folks use old paint pots around here too

    Unfortunately the Koi all died because I forgot to take Grahams advice...
    I put in 3X 1" new Koi that were obviously infected with parasites.
    R.I.P.

    Oh really Fred ?

    That's a hell of a shame.

    Unless you're dead set on Koi (which are really more of a temperate climate fish), perhaps try something colourful and more local, or at least tropical in origin ?

    Cichlid species are tough, also larger Gouramis. The 3 spot Gourami (Trichogaster Leeri) can be found wild there ...certainly in Bicol. Just be careful with catfish, as they can snaffle up other fish during the night.

    Happy new year to you and your family Fred, regarding your question, it wouldn't be some kind of fruit, would it?

    Yes Micheal,botanically speaking ...It is a fruit..But which kind?
    Bit of a clue...It is not necessarily thought of as a Filipino fruit but grown in my garden here in the R.P
    never the less!

    I've checked all the similar whitish flowers around. nothing is quite the same. The petals of your flower much too pointed.

    I give up

    Interesting

    I'd not have guessed that, but I just now went out and checked some of the flowers on my chillie bush and yes the flowers are the same. Pointed petals of almost the similar colour (mine are much whiter though) and the centre bit purple.

    The flowers on my chillie bush are really really small, you flower looks much bigger in the photo.

    Well done Michael

    I came to my conclusion because I remembered you mentioned earlier in 2015 that you were going to grow your own peppers but, I wasn't 100% sure that peppers are a fruit. Well I'm so pleased Fred, thank you!

    Please post a pic of your flowers Terpe... We can learn together as a group as to what you are growing!!

    I have about 5 varieties growing as of now...(including the national popper...L:abuyo)

    BTW.. Pepper flowers look really similar..BUT there are many small differences that can give so many different clues to what type of Pepper they are.. This particular type is an Annum.. There are other types,but we can learn as we go!
