I picked up some Miracle Fruit(Synsepalum dulcificum) trees(shrubs) recently and I'm very excited about them. They are slow growers that will thrive in a greenhouse environment. I'll be keeping them indoors for the winter in my poor mans greenhouse.
The cool thing about them is that once eaten they change your sense of taste for up to 2hrs. They block sour receptors and enhance sweet receptors which makes anything sour/acidic taste miraculously sweet.
As far as other plants go, I really enjoy Bromeliads, carnivorous plants and anything tropical that will do well in a small space.
