Way out West (incorporating Way up North)

buddhas hand

My buddhas hand citron has come into flower at last, thus far the blooms are just the same as any other citrus, the weirdness will start when the petals drop and the fruiting body developes. For now, here is a picture of the flowers, I'll update as the fruit start to come.

Incidentally, there is an iranian jam made from citrus petals, I am told, I have never had the quantity to experiment. I could imagine candying them, as they are quite stiff, and frequently very fragrant, although not as perfumed as the rest of the flower.
