The lemon tree was badly damaged in the frost at the beginning of the year and is still in the process of recovery. It has now however started producing buds again so I am taking that as a good sign.

There is a tiny clementine (citrus) tree in the front garden but despite it’s size it is an enthusiastic grower. It has already produced two small fruits that didn’t survive the curiosity of the children. In Afrikaans we call these fruits “naartjies” and it is apparently a hybrid between a mandarin and a sweet orange. It is now however sporting several white blossoms so here are a few pics. I also thought they would make a nice subject for a monochrome project that I am working on.

The lemon tree can be seen from our study window and while looking out at it pensively one day I noticed there were several fairly odd looking shapes. Of course this meant they had to be captured. So here are the X-Lemons!
