Today is a cloudy Sunday, so I decide to go for a walk in my garden before it rains. The noni plant is an exotic plant that I have in my garden. It is a tiny shrubby tree with tubular white blooms. The fruit is huge and yellow-greenish-white in color, with a pebbled surface. The ripe fruit has a distinct cheese-like, unpleasant odor. I love its small bloom that sprouts from the tubular. For its distinct aroma, we use the leaves in Thai curry or wrap them over fish for steamed or grilled dishes. I also use Noni ripe fruits fermented with brown sugar as soil fertilizer. I wish you all a beautiful Sunday.

Your photos are really great, Andy!
Thanks.
I can’t imagine a cheese odor coming from a flower. Must be interesting
Only the fruit has a cheese-like odor, but the bloom has no scent.
Noni fruit, a fruit that has many benefits. We used to use noni as the main fruit when making spicy salad.
