I would very much like to add Fortunella Hindsii, or Clementiny, to my garden.
I can not find them locally; so I hope that someone would sell me seeds.
My garden is just now getting started; so I don't have seeds to offer in exchange yet.
I will remember any kindness, and will gladly trade any seeds from my collection when my garden is productive.

Thank you, to the people who sold me Finger Lime seed.
I now have 10 cultivars; All have germinated, and tiny leaves are now present!

Would a Finger Lime with Red skin, and Pink Vesicles, contain both Anthocyanin, and Lycopene?

I have a modest collection of Finger Lime Trees.
They have many different colors of skin, and many different colors of yummy round vesicles.
I was curious as to the pigments that create these color variations.

I'm also curious about these tasty little leaves.
I've been cooking with them, like you would cook with a leaf of Kaffir Lime.
Besides being so cute, the finger lime leaves impart a very green flavor, slightly citrus,
with an after note of mint that stays with you for a while.

I know that finger lime skin contains isomenthone, but would anyone know if this is present in the leaves, as well?

Thanks
