Stone Soup

Just a few slides to show you this little Meyer Lemon tree I bought at a Chinese mall at lunch time recently; it was the only one they had and I haven't seen them anywhere else. Wish me luck.

I think it will be quite nice after a summer on my patio. I have had it outdoors for about a week since I bought it but tonight we are supposed to have some frost so I have brought it indoors. I notice one of the lemons went black, probably from cold last night. Ok, I have learned my lesson, I cannot rush things. I will pay attention to the weather forecasts and move it indoors and out as needed until the end of the month.

The shape of this little tree is not very nice, yet. I hope it will fill in nicely so I can prune it into a more pretty shape. It will winter in my kitchen at the patio door.

Lemonade anyone?

This is a shot I took while learning the digital macro setting on my camera. Can you see the ant traveling down the stamen towards the nectar? I didn't even know I had captured this until later when I viewed the photo on my computer.
