It is pleasant and scary to be amongst my citrus blooms. While they are very fragrant, there is a never ending humm by the buzzing of the busy bees.
Here's the Melogold from Benny. I grafted 4 of them and they all sprouted, and are in bloom. The flowers are really large, some over 1" wide. They look small only in pics. The Melogold is in my 43-n-1 citrus tree.

Hello Navelina! T-budded (regular T) last fall, 2005, and finally decided to wake up. This should be one of those high S/A ratio fruits.

Chironja Grapefruit hybrid. The blooms are few but on almost every terminal branch, unlike regular grapefruits whose flowers are in clusters. This is a 2-year old graft on my 43-n-1 citrus tree.

I went to my backyard just a few moments ago and I was surprised how many grafts and buds that took. Even those that I thought dead have something going on inside and tries to go out. It must have been the nice tempt at night last night and a good sunshine all day yesterday. I'll post some pics soon. |

Ponderosa lemon flowers, these are actually slightly smaller flowers than those of Melogold's

Meyers in bloom. I have Meyer fruits in various stages, supplying me almost year round. Spring time is still the heaviest bloom, and December to February would be the peak harvest.

I still have Lisbons on my 43-n-1 tree. These are good keeper and they keep on getting bigger too. Now they are just slightly smaller than my regular ponderosa lemon fruits.
