My A would be an Avocado tree/bush? Not sure how big they grow! It would, of course, always have Avocado fruit that was at the perfect level of ripeness to eat - not too hard, not too squidgy.

Bougainvillea crawling invasively over a structure. Like over a carport we had in the tropics with bromeliad accompaniments.

I  have two Astolomeia's in the geenhouse (they wee a tenner each) which are looking a bit sick? I think I will bring them home and put them on the South facing bedroom window sill to try and revive them? Huh
I still have my bargain 20p Banana plant from Morries, now heading into its third year methinks? Cool
