Meyer lemons
These Meyer lemons fell off a tree in Sonoma County, California and made their way to Seattle, courtesy of a visitor. Lemon trees have thorns but do an unusual thing: they can flower and fruit at the same time. Those flowers smell so sweet!
Thursday Challenge this week is “Food.” And Think Green Thursday is always about living lightly, to my mind, so eating extra lemons from a friend’s tree is pretty “green” to me.

I too have posted lemons but my photo isn’t as good as yours.

I would say that is a very green thing to do. I love Meyer lemons, they have a distinct scent & taste that I find very appealing. I never knew about the flowers, cool!
happy green day!

Living in western New York, I don’t know anything about lemon trees having thorns. We get some great apples in the fall and some berries in the summer, but not as much local produce as in a warmer climate… Beautiful photo Sara… Michelle
