Odiferous Orange Onslaught
When I walk outside these days, I'm hit by a wall of perfume. The fragrance of orange blossoms is so incredibly delicious. I love Spring.
Several years ago I planted a wisteria. It's blooming for the first time. I wonder if it overheard my conversations where I was debating taking it out.
A quince tree came with my house. The tree and flowers are pretty, but I don't care much for the fruit. The critters leave it alone as well. What does that tell you about Quince?
These are pear blossoms. The pears taste like raw potatoes. Critters leave them alone too, including me.
My favorite fruit, that I'm able to grow, are figs. It's the only fruit I know of that doesn't produce flowers, so although I have a bunch of tiny figs growing, there are no accompanying flower pictures. The birds will get most, if not all of my figs. They know what tastes good too.

Beautiful pics....wisteria is my absolute fave, how lucky you are to have one :o)
I love those photos. Especially the pear blossoms.
BTW, I live in Houston. The harbor I was referring to is just off of Galveston Bay. To me, boating here is not as great as it is in other places because the water isn't clear and sparkly.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting.
I love orange blossoms. All of our trees are blooming now... I love it.
Check out the picture of my dog that I put up today, I bought him a new toy.
