Garden Bloggers Bloom Day
January 15, 2015
The only thing blooming is a Meyer Lemon tree. GWA members were given seedlings years ago. Mine did not make it home.
Blooms everywhere. The leaves are looking better, greener, everyday.
However, this past summer, I bought a Meyer Lemon tree. It was on the clearance table at a garden center.
It sat, potted, on the patio wall. Lush and green, it was outside until threats of winter approached.
A few weeks ago, I noticed the pale, yellowing leaves and the dry container. Rescued once again, the 2 ‘ tree is thriving with gro=lights, fertilizer and water.
Then, the lemon tree began to bloom!
I am exited, because you don’t see many citrus trees in the Midwest. It has thorns. I snipped them off – like you do roses in a vase.
It is the only flower I have this January. Plus. the poinsettia from last month still looks good.
The true flowers are the tiny ones in the center. PBH
