Reminds me. Whenever I go in a supermarket (local, or places I'm visiting), I always make a run through the produce department, to see if they have anything weird, that I can plant. One time, in Fort Lauderdale, (Florida) I saw some passionfruit. I brought one to the checkout, and the clerk said to me, "Before I ring this up, I want to say they're expensive." I thought, OK, I'm only getting one. It came up at US$1.95. The next day, we visited a local (huge) flea market and, in the produce section, a woman had them at her stand. I asked how much, and she said, " Six for a dollar." I said that I couldn't use six, two woud be enough, and how much did I owe? She said, "A quarter." (25¢) I enjoyed the juice, planted the seeds and, in 7 months, had flowers and, in 10 months, ripe fruit.
