Guava: Psidium guajava
This is one of several guavas I've started. This guy is the biggest of the lot, a plain old green guava (white flesh); the seed came from fresh fruit. How the seed ended up in a random pot is undetermined, but one day in March, I found a sprout, and it has slowly grown since. Guavas take their own sweet time in sprouting, and in their infancy tend to grow very slowly, though that allegedly will change quite a bit in time. We shall see.
In the meantime, I've also started red guavas, cattley guavas, and feijoas from seed - at this point they are just sprouting their initial sets of true leaves. The red guavas are the most impressive - a bit beffier in size than their relatives. We'll see how they progress...
