When I was a child the only time I saw a real lemon was if someone had a bad cold or cough and one was bought to squeeze the juice to add to a glass of hot water with honey. To be sipped slowly:)
I dreamed of a garden greater than the three privet trees in front of our house whose only purpose appeared to be to prevent the light from entering the front room.
In my dream garden there would be lemons growing on trees, as I had seen in books, and blue delphiniums, and yellow daffodils, and singing birds, and butterflies.

Often when I walk past my single Meyer lemon tree and smell the beautiful blossom, or grab a couple of fruit I am reminded that dreams can, and often do,come true. Also that it is the simple pleasures in life that mean the most.
I share this little lemon blossom with you - and may your dreams also come true.

Beautiful narrative Lyn and I've never seen a lemon blossom before - no citrus grows in the Midwest US - too cold winters I'd guess.

Like to agree with Kathy about your narrative and with the other friends above about your image, Lyn.

PS: Thanks too for your wish. Really hope that it will come true.

Regards, Cornelius.

Thanks, dear Lyn !!!
I will keep this one to remember your wish.
This is my first time too to see the lemon blossom. Looks like a tiny small magnolia blossom in colour...

A fine pic. I started to pucker just a little in anticipation of what it will become.

Lyn, we speak of little else than lemon groves in "Glorious" New Brighton! A beautiful close-up image, I can imagine the wonderful aroma.
If you enter "New Brighton flood" into Youtube you'll be able to see how bad it was last Thursday.
