There are two plants that I’ve long found intriguing. Both are growing just outside my front door.
One is coffee because, well, coffee.
The other is the cycad. This one is harder to explain. I used to live on the fringes of Balboa Park in San Diego. There were a number of cycads in the park, and when I found out they weren’t actually palms I started to learn more about them and became fascinated.
There are many more botanical wonders to be discovered here, but I’m happy with these two (and the possible addition of vanilla).
