Something else entirely. Here's a link to an article that describes it from the source.

What is a "ginger lime"?

Is that a type of finger lime or desert lime or something else?

Well...that sounds interesting.  I really like ginger flavor.  Now I just need to find one of those plants or bud wood.

No info on Florida Special at GRIN.  How is it different from Red Spanish?

I think Wellspring has them pretty cheap.  They are small though, like a 2" pot.  They just grow the tissue cultures from Agristarts and resell them.

About "Florida Special":

Bred for Florida pineapple production by Libby fruit company. At one time there where 240 acres planted in Immokalee, FL prior to Libby selling to Nestle. Florida Special Pineapple produces a golden-fleshed fruit with great flavor. Ripening fruit has shown to take temperatures down to the mid 30's without internal damage.

I haven't personally, but have heard that Cheese Pine is supposedly excellent. 

Most of the guys here have only had the Agristarts varieties-  Sugarloaf, White Jade, etc.

Maybe Oscar has had it.  He has some rare pineapples.

Im not familiar with cellos, but Kaffir lime is supposed to be extremely fragrant and oily.  I haven't personally smelled the fruit, but smelled the crushed up leaves of one yesterday.  It had a nice, very strong smell - kind of citrus-lime.  They are used in Thai cooking for that reason.  And there is also the Bergamot sour orange, the oils of which are used to flavor Earl Grey teas.  I'm a big fan of Earl Grey teas.  The smell is really something special.

I picked up a 7 gal  Sweet Song lychee while I was there today.  He doesn't ship, but will let you come by and pick up.  He will also be at the Manatee Rare Fruit Council plant sale coming up. 

I also picked up Pitangatuba, Zill's Black (original) Suriname Cherry, Fruit Punch mango, Ice cream mango,  2x Dream Cherimoya and Makok Sapodilla.

I have the standard stuff (ie. White Jade, Elite Gold, MD-2, etc.). I've heard there was an heirloom variety that occasionally pops up in Florida that sounded interesting.

Looking for:

AusFestival
Jubilee
Queen
Morada
Cheese Pine
Anything different or hard to find.  Edibles only.

Anybody know how Meyer lemon does as a rootstock?

If you decide you don't want it, I'll come get it for you.  Would be a shame to burn it.

I thought the "red finger limes" from Logees were suspect.  Isn't the fruit in their picture a blood lime or some other type of citrus and not an actual finger like?

I saw ucr and a few places had finger limes, but they are just "green finger limes", not an improved variety.  Anyone with experience with these?  Are they worth growing?

Yes, of course.  That was my thought exactly and why it sounded so fishy.  I didn't know if you guys were getting bud wood sent to usda for testing or if there was an import agreement with Australia or what.  I asked about finger limes on another thread and was told "Ozlimes on ebay". 

Looks like the leaves on my ponkan and Valencia that had some melanose and greasy spot going on.  At least I think that's what it was.  I posted some pictures a whike back and that seemed.to be what the other guys thought it was.

Your leaves look like mine before the spots got really bad.  Maybe you could spray some copper or fungicide before it gets going.  The spots won't go away, but at least it won't spread and get worse.
