- Today I want to introduce our 'Orange Jasmine' Murraya paniculata.
- Again, a plant with highly fragrant blossoms. We have them in planters, outside during the three seasons and inside during winter.
- This tropical plant is available from Logee's: Orange Jasmine Murraya Paniculata in Connecticut and that's where ours came from. They do have all kind of exotic plants and lots of citrus plants too. Look for some photos at the very end of this blog, our citrus trees in a pot do even bear fruits!
- The planters are on the stone patio, in front of our greenhouse. My Dad helped building it, together with Pieter. That's where all our pots will spend their three months period, till the weather is mild enough to be put outside again. Of course it is always too small...
- To the left of the greenhouse there are numerous pots that also need to be placed inside the greenhouse...
- This is the wooden trail that Pieter build, going alongside the gazebo towards the house.
- Our own private walking trail and there are also trails in the wood garden, when crossing the three bridges over the creek. Lots of work done, one day I will show photos how it looked 20 years ago and what we made out of it.
- We are the very first people ever living and working on this lot. That's the name for the land where you build your home; used here in the South East of the USA.
- We are blessed for having such a private paradise all to our own!
- Now as promised our citrus trees; in pots:
- This is a closeup of the pot you see to the right in front of the greenhouse.
- This gives a good idea of its size... a photo from last year. They ripen inside the greenhouse as our season is not long enough.
- Yet another variety, inside the greenhouse during winter.
- One year when Mom & Dad were visiting again in March 1996, from The Netherlands, I left them all on the tree and gave Mom a basket to pick the oranges from the tree behind the gazebo on the patio.
- That moment from Monday, March 25 of 1996 is being videotaped...
- Mom enjoyed that very much and they were sweet and tasty too in our yogurt with granola for breakfast.
- The orange blossom is something to enjoy. Often I did use them with jasmines and floating candles for a center piece when friends came to dinner...
