Love longan. Also very photogenic. (Sometimes I buy fruit primarily to photograph.)

I've been so unlucky finding them. Each time I go to an Asian market they never have any Longan or lychee available lol.

Hopefully I can find some this week

Image isn't working for me unfortunately but yeah, they real pretty. I first had some in Taiwan, the owners of a small cafe gave us a branch from their tree.
