Lychee
So if there are two of them is it pronounced Lychi or Lychees? Ok... sorry I haven't added any new entries to this blog in a month. Summer was definitely in full swing. It's been a weird day. My coworker and I were having a debate whether or not this fruit was pronounced 'lee chee" or his usage "lie chee" I proved that it was the first. Dictionary.com is a beautiful thing. What started all of this was a Korean Aloe drink I purchased which was Lychee flavored. I know... weird in of itself. So not more than two minutes later our IT guy comes by and is giving out Lychee fruit to everyone... He didn't hear the conversation at all. A serious co-winki dink. I'm mean come on... who the hell brings Lychee fruit to work outside of Asia? The photo is the 'fruit' of my labor after receiving two of them. They were delicious!

Your photo made me homesick for Hawaii, where, incidentally, everyone pronounces it "lie chee." So it seems that dictionary.com was not written by a Hawaiian! Now you have to try mangosteen, newly available in the US.

Plural of lychee would be lychees. Delicious fruit and it grows in South Africa too.
I found your website when I was searching on "lightening rods new york city", because I am on a quest to get scientists to research how to harness nature-made electricity in lightening!
I have no photographs of lightening to illustrate my writing on this subject and being a fellow artist who respects copyright, I did not just go ahead and nab yours.
Contact me if you want to add your photos to my quest to convince scientists to take another look at lightening as an alt energy source.
