My orange blossom is perfuming my front door area right now! It doesn't feel like spring here - heavy showers, cold and wind here - it's weird.

Since I can't grow orange trees here, I have two Mock Orange shrubs. They smell nice, but not as nice as the real thing. Happy first day of spring!

I must plant a bush that will get big enough to provide some shade there in summer.Mara Pazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830998547445582411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-646617447222120818.post-18349038630626495632013-03-17T00:45:44.228+00:002013-03-17T00:45:44.228+00:00We've got snow.
