Lemon trees need pollinators to set fruit, right?

| Duba |
This is my cat Duba, who was getting in my way as I tried to take the next photo (yes, he has one eye that's mostly brown and the other very light blue).

| African violet |
I wish I knew the name of this African violet. It never fails to bloom in winter and it continues to bloom for a long time.
 |
| 'Patrick's' abutilon |
I can tell our "hard" freezes haven't lasted too long because the abutilon is still blooming. The blooms are pretty small but it's still got them!
 |
| Flowering quince |
The flowering quince is not quite in bloom yet. In fact, though there are many buds, it's coming out a little later than it has in the past.

| 'Peggy Clarke' flowering apricot (Prunus mume 'Peggy Clarke') |
And last but certainly not least, one of my newer trees is getting ready to burst into bloom - 'Peggy Clarke' flowering apricot. It's loaded with buds now, and if we don't get a hard freeze, I expect to see a sensation.
Be sure to visit Carol at May Dreams Gardens to see what she has in bloom along with many other folks around the world!

I love the texture and color of 'Patrick's' abutilon....It's such a fantastic plant. But it's not in my garden....Must remedy that. gail
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms...and Duba is super-cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms on your African violet, Jean, but I'm most intrigued by your flowering apricot tree. I can't wait to see it in bloom! Duba is a handsome fellow; why is it that cats will never sit still when you want to take their photo, but always manage to get in the picture when you're trying to photograph something else?:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms! Sweet kitty-cat!
ReplyDeleteI especially like those buds.
