Mystery Citrus In Bloom

We still don't know what they are.  We thought the bushes Cindy and Judy bought a couple of years ago were Meyers Lemons (see "Of Lemons And Limes"), because that's what the nursery had labeled them.  However, when the fruit stubbornly refused to turn from green to yellow, we began to think they might be limes instead.

But a couple of months ago, the fruit began to turn yellow.  They still didn't look like Meyers Lemons, but they also didn't look like limes any more.  We've been using them for cooking--they're definitely citrus, but don't taste much like either lemons or limes.  Limons?  We really have no idea.

While Cindy was gone a couple of months ago, one of the fruits fell off what we believe is an orange tree, so I put it in the kitchen.  When she got back, she opened it up, and said it was definitely an orange, but not completely ripe yet.  So now we know what that one is.  The third tree hasn't put out any kind of fruit at all, so we don't know what it is.

Here's an updated picture of the citrus plant out behind the fence.  The buds have burst into blossom (white blossoms, it should be noted) and there are even two fruits developing on the branches.  There aren't many leaves on this plant, but if the buds are any indication, it's a pretty happy plant.  It looks good in front of the blue Plumbago blossoms, too.

The citrus plant in front of the fence has a few buds on it, but it has a lot more leaves and is looking good, too.

Maybe someday we'll figure out what they are.
