Beautiful! My daughter grew an Orange tree from a seed, must have been around 30 years ago! We couldn't believe the thorns as it had never occurred to us Orange trees had thorns.

How pretty these petals are.
I'll be lucky to keep any petals on my tree - the pigeons and other birds seem to like eating them.

Is the odor as heavenly as the flower appears?
Love that diagonal composition, and the juxtaposition of the sharp and soft.

Those thorns look lethal, Jenn. Does make you wonder about Nature - why it produces a tree that has inedible fruit?
