November Garden Update

It's late November, and so far no frost here yet, but maybe tonight. I took some photos of plants I have growing at my mom's yesterday:

Buddha's hand citron (Citrus medica). Citrons are one of the pure citrus species (of natural, rather than hybrid, origin). "Medica" refers the the Medes, not to medicine. If you've never smelled on of these before, you're missing out! The sweet fragrance carries across the yard.

Myrtle-leaf sour orange (Citrus myrtifolia). These tiny sour oranges make great marmalade, so I read. I'll have to try it sometime.

Rosa chinensis 'Louis Philippe'. This China rose does great in the South.
