I like this picture so much, I gotta share it. I took it last Friday.
It's a picture of the acerola--Malpighia glabra--aka Barbados cherry.
It's an absolutely delightful fruit that is so high in vitamin C that
three fruits will supply your RDA. At maturity, it's a small tree; mine
is still in the "large shrub" stage.
