What a great shot of this wonderful display of great colours and shapes. What are they? It looks like a cross betwwen a chilli and a lemon ;-)

@ludwigsdiana They are a citrus but pretty much all pith inside. The guy said you can make jams and chutneys with it. I have also seen them used overseas as gifts for at temples. I actually just googled it as well, the proper name is Buddha's Hand not Fingers.

Wow. I was about to ask what it was, but saw the comments.
What an amazing thing.

[Boxplayer]

Wow absolutely fabulous things - never heard of them before now, so alien looking - nice lighting.

@ludwigsdiana @samcat @boxplayer Apparently good sliced thinly in salads too, and great as zest!
