First Lemon

We've been growing a lemon tree inside for several years. It has had several flowers that my husband tried to hand fertilize...no lemons. Months ago there was another flower and I asked him to leav it to its own devices and lo and behold!

Ooh, great looking flower. Good luck with the lemons.

Maybe nature is best left alone... love that you caught this lemon emerging!

Nature doing it's job!! Well done!!

[Judith Greenwood]

Well there you go! And how lovely too - the scent is going to be fabulous and then there's a G&T to be attended to!!

[Jen Hudson]

Thats a result! I can quite identify with that great feeling of satisfaction. Nice conposition.

[Leana Niemand]

A great shot, love the detail and texture.

[Alison Tomlin]

Really nice use of texture - potential theme entry? The theme is up your street this week.

[Pam Hawkes]

Great capture. Nice textures.

[Caroline]

[Dawn Irwin]

Beautifully composed and I love the background! Congrats on your first lemon!

[Michael Elliott]

Lovely composition.

[Ross Walker]

Good nature story, and I enjoy the background texture and curve of the big leaf. Would you consider cropping the right 1/3?

[Jane Pittenger]

@rvwalker Thanks for the idea. I'll try it

[Aleksandra]

Gorgeous shot of your little lemon bud! We've had a lemon tree for 2 years and have seen many flowers but not a single lemon as yet! They're tricky plants!

great shot - really nice image

Love the composition, and background! It looks like you will have a nice lemon soon. I know how hard it is to get these to fruit inside. Great shot!
