#TIL I learned what orange blossoms look like. They are pretty. And also they smell A LOT.
(Look, I never lived in a place where oranges would grow! And I prefer succulents and cactii as house plats.)
@vicgrinberg I lived in a "patio apartment" in AZ for several years that had a grapefruit tree in the patio. The smell of the flowers was glorious.

@vicgrinberg
We have self grown lemons.
They are two years old now, but have had no blossoms yet.
Hope they smell as nice as the oranges. -

@vicgrinberg Orange blossoms smell heavenly. One of the better floral smells IMHO.

@vicgrinberg when I was a kid (living nowhere near where oranges grown outdoors), our neighbour had an orange tree as a house plant - it smelled lovely when it was blooming, and she even got little sour oranges from it that she made a lemonade kind of drink from.

@vicgrinberg All citrus smells wonderful when it's in bloom. Definitely recommend at least one if you live in a climate that supports it.

@klausfiend alas, we are very far a way from a climate that supports citruses, in any of the places we live
Reason why I haven't seen orange blossoms before, at least not consciously. -

@briankrebs I think I find floral smells a bit too heavy for inside myself (got some hyacinths as a present, had to move them into the garden
), but it's lovely when walking through the streets of a city, which is how we experienced it yesterday! -
@vicgrinberg @lisamelton The first thing I did when I bought a house in California was plant a little orange tree. It was so wonderful twice a year when it bloomed. Heaven.
@genecowan @lisamelton California is a special place anyway
