Poncirus trifoliata - I am told that the flowers have the fragrance of lemons ..is this true ? So pretty..but do take care when you go in to breathe in that fragrance !!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is very very faint and only shows up occasionally.
DeleteAh spring. Only a few weeks away!
ReplyDeleteLong weeks I am afraid...
DeleteWow! That's a lot of flowers. I didn't realize this plant was so floriferous. This is the one that also makes little orange fruits, right?
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, although they're a little yellower than true orange.
DeletePoncirus is an impressive plant. I've been surprised at just how many thorns even my ordinary citrus trees have, although I'm reminded of this every time I try to prune them - ouch!
ReplyDeleteOuch indeed!
DeleteHaving seen photos of your fruiting Poncirus, I'm not surprised to see all those flowers. Just gorgeous! All the more proof that mine needs to be moved - or go to a better home. It was nowhere NEAR that kind of display!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I need to check into what Vignette Week is. Sounds right up my alley...!
I think it's happy with a lot of sun.
DeleteGreat shot! For a moment I thought it was a Magnolia.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can see why.
DeleteThis Poncirus trifoliate could provide a picture for each one of the seasons all by itself. I love a plant with a multi-season interest. Not every plant can pull off such a feat. I only wish the fragrance could come through the post...
ReplyDeleteThat's so true. Hmmm....perhaps I need to capture it through out the year...
DeleteSo... fragrant or not fragrant? I've seen conflicting reports.
ReplyDeleteBoth! The stars seem to need to be aligned for the scent to be noticeable.
