    I am a Vietnamese living in TX, pleased to meet you, a Laotian who is a neighbor of Vietnam.
    Your garden in Florida is so beautiful!

    I was just in Laos 🇱🇦. Such a beautiful country full of great people.
    I love how pretty much everyone in that part of the world grows tons of fruit trees.
    They never lost the knowledge to grow your own food.

    Hi from Broward county - Chermoya grow in this zone - 10. It would be great if you could zoom in to show the blossoms your guest (with a great voice) pointed out. We take pics of things in the garden and Google the pic. You can try to do that in preparation of this video - then if he doesn't know the name, you can help. Have you ever eaten Chinese dishes with bamboo shoots? Not exotic, a typical ingredient in authentic Asian food.
