Pomegranates

I don't know if pomegranates should be considered tropical plants. I think that they are more sub-tropical to temperate plants. I don't see any growing around here, so I'll assume that they are a bit of a rarity around these parts. About 1.5 years ago in November-December of 2010, I ate some pomegranates and planted a few seeds. Three plants grew. One did not make it through the winter. The other two are pictured.
To my surprise, I discovered flower buds on the larger plant today. I really wasn't expecting the plants to be able to fruit for another year or two. I guess the jokes on me in a good sort of way.
