Lime Blossom

Lovely. They have wonderful smell. Unfortunately mine is not blooming.

Very pretty ,can you use the leaves in cooking Paul ..

Klahanie -When I was living in Africa, we used limes to purify out drinking and always had a supply on hand.

Amy- Yes lime leaves are used as a flavoring, but are too tough to eat -like a Bay Leaf.

Thats what I thought Paul ,Thanks ...

My neighbour has just purchased one of these! It's just coming into flower too... AND I'm it's minder, while she's away in your neck of the woods Paul - for 3 months! In fact I'm minding the conservatory which is full of Orchids, cacti, and Rosemary and lavender cuttings. It's a big responsibility...! But I'm happy to help her ;o)

That looks familiar. lol! :>)) It looks good!

Limes are widely grown here as a commercial crop. All citrus is very commonly grown in orchards here.

Wow, you get to enjoy her lime blossoms. I love how they freshen the air, Tracey.

Del: Must be quite a sight to see a whole orchard of limes in blossom. I bet you can grow a pencil in San Diego if you planted it. lol

Bathgate:

Yes, they're so very fragrant when the citrus trees are in flower, also.

Right now oranges are in season.

LOL! Pencils don't grow; however, the pencil bush (Euphorbia tirucalli) is extremely common in the landscape here. :>))
