YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY

New fruit (for me anyway) - first time I've seen these in the supermarket. The name grabbed me. The colours got me hooked.
They're lovely.
Lovely colours - especially against Pia's Liberty print bloomers. The interior colour is gorgeous - soft, subtle, yet intense as well. The colours sit so well in late afternoon summer sun.
Lovely flavour.
Lovely Pluots.

Cross between a plum and an apricot, right? My daughter was talking about them in NZ last week. I haven't seen them in the shops here yet.

I have never heard of these, but they look awfully tasty (and pretty)... :)

they're my favorite fruit! so delicious. also called an aprium or a plumcot, depending on the farmer and how much plum is mixed with how much apricot. Any way you dice it... delicious.

Aw my mouth is watering! I'll be keeping an eye out for these. I like the plumcots as well, though I haven't seen many this year. Drought?

I've also seen Pluots called Dinosaur Eggs. My son always gets excited when he sees them! They are delish!

OMG - that is one of my favorite fruits. It's always perfect! I'm so glad you discovered them too

Now that's really neat. My dad sold his crop to Fruit Patch, so you could very well be eating pluots from his field. =)

I hopped over to your blog via Yarnstorm...this is my first visit here.

i feel bad somebody's ripping you off (per latest post). so here's a little something that won't make it up for you, but it's a penny in the pot rather than one out.
