There is nothing sweeter than the smell of orange blossoms. It wasn't until I moved here and was lucky enough to have an orange tree in my own front yard that I realized that it takes one full year from the time the blossom provides its sweet scent until the orange is ripe and ready to eat. However, our tree is now covered with both blossoms and oranges.

Lovely orange blossoms. They are pure white and waxy in appearance but the important thing is the fragrance which permeates the whole yard.
