Coffee.

We enjoy coffee so much around our house we even have a genuine Kona coffee plant growing in the house!  We found a wild coffee plant while hiking in Hawaii in early 2007.  That plant had coffee cherries on it and I picked up a couple planning on taking them back to Utah and trying to grow a coffee plant.  Fast forward to today and the coffee plant is not only 5 feet tall and healthy, it's BLOOMING!!  That means that it hopefully will bear cherries and we can roast our own coffee beans and have a tiny cup of our own home grown Kona coffee!
The plant blooming in our kitchen!!  It smells divine, like lemons.

The cherries I found in 2007.  The olive colored pieces are the seed or the "beans".
