This thread is about plants that I tried this year and won’t try again next year as well as ones that did really well.

East coast North America, zone 8/9, rainfall 120cm.

*Updated with pics

A very dark pink to red Jamaican cherry being held over a very green citrus leaf (red pomelo). Both the berry and citrus leaf are covered in water droplets bc it was raining.
Looks like a pic taken from outer space. Bright yellow, petals frame the pic and the circle around a center that is dark maroon. There is a fuzzy staminal column that ends with a dark fuzzy stigma bordered with brilliant yellow anthers. The stigma is so dark red it is almost black. The flower is a Nkruma Tenten okra.
A purple curry leaf berry surrounded by native physalis still in yellow, papery, husks, katuk leaves, and huazontle leaves.
On a wooden cutting board is an assortment of leaves, peas, seed pods, cucumbers, radish, peppers and flowers.

52/ 蜘蛛果 spider berry, Campanumoea lancifolia

Grows really well. Seems to be resilient to high winds and extreme heat. Does need a bit extra water than the rain. I don’t have a lot of information on its cultivation. I will bring it indoors when temperatures go below freezing.

A bunch of flower buds of the spider berry plant hanging down from a stem. The spider berry is at the base of the flower and has long thin leaflets along its side that are very prickly looking. the leaves are medium green and lanceolate. The plant is growing with Pouteria viridis and is caged to prevent bunnies from chewing it down.
A flower has dried and the berry is starting to engorge at its base. The berry is still green. Behind it is chicken wire and a spray-painted colorful polka dot pot.
