For the Coffee Table Book - Issue #19



On our way to Eden Nature Park in Davao, we stopped by a fruit stand. And I saw these fruits used as decorations. At first I thought they belong to the citrus family. A sister in my community told me it is called mickey mouse plant.

Mr. Google told me the plant's scientific name is solanum mammosum. It is also called nipple fruit. It is also considered a medicinal plant in many areas in the Philippines.

  2. Parang paa lang yung nasa center. May hawig kay Mickey Mouse pero parang mas gwapo pa rin si Mickey! Hindi ko alam kung familiar ako sa prutas na yan. Feeling ko nakakita na ako na hindi ko alam.

    Oh well.
