Papaya 'Solo'

St. Paul, MN(Zone 4b)

Hello All.

After two years of patience, and just days before our first frost of the season, I present one of my first Papaya 'Solo' flowers. I already have two tiny papayas further down the stalk! How fun!

ohh pretty what does it smell like? Some of the papaya flowers' smell remind me of Fuit Loops lol.

thank you angel_. Unfortunately, the flower was too high on the plant for me to smell. I'm surprised I even got decent pics holding the camera way above my head.

Way to go, Erick! How tall is your papaya? Let's see a pic of the entire plant, please.

Thank you Donna. Here is the whole plant in my garden. I am not looking forward to dragging it indoors for the winter in the next week or so.

Thanks Donna. Yours will grow! To the left of the Papaya is a sunflower (the vine is Aristolochia anguicida) and to the right is one of gordo's Brugmansia crosses.
