.......the neighbors grapefruit tree is a large old tree,having great limbs that drape over the fence into our garden.
This has been so, for many years,
allowing for an ample supply of grapefruit for us
during season.
The tree begins blooming in the spring,
which is now
and by November the fruit will be ready to harvest.
Unlike grapefruit varieties of more recent times,
these great yellow citrus fruits, have
massive amounts of seeds.
Never mind, we say, for
the flavor is worth the effort in preparation.
When taking photos of the
blossoms today, and there are many,
I realized the tree will produce a
"bumper crop"
this year.
I got up close with my camera and used the macro
setting, so as to see the tiny delicate features...
Can you see the tiny little dots?
The flesh or the peeling
of the grapefruit has similar composition
to the blossom.
I find that fascinating.....
.....are you having a good weekend? I hope so.
