The Lemon Lady Junior...

Child of the pure unclouded brow
And dreaming eyes of wonder!
Though time be fleet, and I and thou
Are half a life asunder,
Thy loving smile will surely hail
The love-gift of a fairy tale.
-Lewis Carroll

“No one who has ever brought up a child can doubt for a moment

that love is literally the life-giving fluid of human existence.”

- Smiley Blanton

Top Health Benefits of Guava

CLICK HERE to learn the Top Health Benefits of Guava.

Guava grows in Concord, California, throughout Contra Costa and Alameda County...likely up and down this great State for that matter. From wikipedia: "Acca sellowiana, a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, is native to the highlands of southern Brazil, eastern Paraguay, Uraguay, northern Argentina, and Colombia."

Pineapple guava (feijoa) is an evergreen shrub producing beautiful, showy, tropical pink flowers. Flowers are in full bloom this month of May. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see striking flowers that most of America will never lay eyes upon. Go on a guava hunt. Enjoy the anticipation of the Autumn harvest, yet to come.

It is worth noting, there are significant health benefits to guava leaves. Research more...CLICK HERE.
