Lots of blossoms on the baby Calamondin Orange that I separated from its potted twin a couple of months ago.
Didn't think I'd get any blossoms this year after that torturous procedure! 😕 It was windy, so picture's fuzzy.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Citrus is always nice when in bloom. Yours has done well and adjusted to it's new conditions.
I currently have Changsha mandarin and Key lime in bloom. Owari satsuma looks like it may flower at it's current rate of growth.

Cheers, Barrie.

Barrie, the fragrance is heaven!

I'll look up changsha and owari to see what images there are.
Do you (would it work?) cross-pollinate the mandarin and lime, etc.?

A couple of months ago I bought a mesh bag of those little key limes.
First batch = 0 germination, second batch = 0 germination. 👿

I wonder if these USA limes are irradiated to come into Canada.
That would kill the seeds wouldn't it?
