Citrus blossom first week of March

Citrus is loving this extra warmth we had this winter. With the recent rains, it's all about to pop! This is the back patio garden at Dynamo Donuts on 24th Street in the Mission. The first two photos is an orange, the last is a Kaffir Lime, one of the ingredients in their donuts.

Citrus have been grown in containers for Centuries. The Romans took this fruit tree with them into north parts of Europe. But Citrus can not take the cold winters and thus needed to be brought into 

heated shelter.
