I rearranged my plant table today because I noticed that my Dwarf Moro Blood Orange was dropping a few leaves. To my surpise I noticed that my Dwarf Key Lime is all budded up! I bought both blood orange and keylime from QVC. I have to say so far, I am impressed. Both trees looked like sticks with leaves and a few branches. I only bought these because I didn't have a good online source and it bugged the hell out of me that you can't buy them in FL and take them out of the state(so they say, but nobody questioned my mango!). The key lime has almost tripled in size since I got both around end of June, actually Keylime came in June because it is more tender. I bet there is at least 100 buds on it and it is around 2.5 ft tall and maybe 8 inches wide. I keep pinching new growth so it will be more bushy instead of tree like. I love these fruit, such a diffrence then the rgular grocery stre limes you find here. The keylimes in the store are green and not as good. Besides the keylime I had another personal triumph...My Bird of Paradise has two flower stems!! I had bought one in Scotsdale AZ a long time ago and it never bloomed. I did everything right but nothing after 5-6 years so I threw it out. I am convinced it was seedgrown. I have a local greenhouse/fruitstand that sells some tropicals. They had a HUGE bird of paradise that they finally broke apart. I bought one sucker with one flower. I love this flower. Nothing says tropical like this. I left it out until temps started cooling off and it was forming a large growth then. I was not sure until today that it was a bud because the way the leaves uncurl, and I notice three growths around the same length. One is definetly a leaf, but two are buds!! I am VERY pleased, now all I need is for my Nebel's Gold plumeria to bloom and I will be content!
