In the cool conservatory

Another hanging tub full of Cymbidiums. Actually they aren’t hanging, just stood on a shelf. The tubs get hung under the carport for their summer break.
Promise of fruit to come, Dalmatie Fig. I had 11 from it last year, I think.
Lemon Meyer. I picked the yellow ones today to make marmalade tomorrow, not the dark ones to the right, they’re artificial. The tree doesn’t have many leaves, although it fruits annually. Think maybe it gets a bit chilled over winter. The little oranges are Calamondin, going to include a dozen of them in the marmalade.
A busy day indoors tomorrow.

No, SBG, I bought the Lemon many years ago. I did germinate a grapefruit from a pip in the past, but it was getting really big, and never fruited, so it got the chop.

Fabulous orchids Siris! How fantastic to be able to make your own marmalade! Tempts me to dispose of my epiphyllums and grow lemons instead! How big is our conservatory?

YorksLass, our conservatory is about 27ft along the back of the bungalow, only narrow though, except at the far end where there is a dining area. It has a terracotta tiled floor, so any plant mess can be cleaned up easily.

Thank you everyone. I've just moved the tub of deep pink Orchids to a more viewable spot, it is looking fantastic, so many flower spikes.
