Orange Blossom

I was sitting out in the garden just minding my own business and enjoying the sunshine when all of a sudden the wind would stir ever so gently and bring with it a waft of this unmistakenly pungent aroma from the orange blossoms.  It would pass as quickly as it had come.

The aroma is so fleeting and sweet but it lingers in the orchard.  It is impossible to describe this wonderful smell--pungent may not do it justice.

The blossoms will soon be gone and hopefully the winged pollinators has spread the pollen around to aid in the fruit production.

We still have a long time to go before the trees will bear fruit usually in time for Thanksgiving.

The blooms don't last very long so the aroma may as well be enjoyed.  For me, it is an acquired taste.
