Well they are certainly a big help, aren't they? =)

Maybe it isn't a frost problem but a bee problem?

I was wondering about that, Kathi.
As I mentioned the tangelo that is about 10 feet from my AZ Sweet has set fruit and the Clementine which is about 10 feet from my Key Lime both have tiny set fruit. I never saw any flowers on my Key Lime or AZ Sweet. Both are probably about 20 years old.

The tree needs to push flowers in order for the bees to do their thing... am I right? I might be wrong but I thought that's what they do. Pollinate the flowers so oranges set.

Part of me is blindly hoping "something" will happen.

But the bee's would not be the reason for no flowers. They would be the reason for new fruit.

That's what I'm thinking, Alan.

A bunch of my stuff did not flower this year either. Was was assuming from the poor weather (cant blame myself )

That's what I'm thinking too, Ryan! I was no where NEAR that tree on the night of the crime.

Next time I'm at Summer Winds I'm going to ask them about it!

I've hired Sherlock to help find the criminal. I did see a drag queen dancing out in the garden that night, doing a rain dance. It may have been Ray.

Were there flying monkies in attendance also?

Only in the orange tree's, but mine bloomed this year

Well if he had black leotards and a pink tutu and there were monkies nearby then I would say you have indentified the suspect!!!

A-HA! So it was Ray...I was almost certain, but not 100%

So in the dark of the night Ray, the leotard/pink tutu sporting drag queen, did a little bouncy dance around my orange tree and took all of my Orange Blossoms! Drat that Dancer in Drag! What am I to do?

Yep! You got it! And he's not even here to defend his actions...

poor Ray!!!

Do you all not know nothen bout me and my flyen monkey's?
They are small monkey's. Big 'ol hawaiian lays made from plummeria flowers would look downright silly around their necks.
We decided numerous years ago that the orange blossoms not only scale wise look better but also help the monkeys smell a little better.
Please place a symbol of a flyen monkey with a X through it on your roof and I will attempt to train them to understand what that means.
But please be aware that they take great offense to you standing in your backyard and shake your fist at them and curse them for taking all your citrus flowers.
I have found all that does is agitate the flyen monkeys and that’s when they start flinging poo.
You think poo flinging monkeys in the zoo are bad?
Just wait till you agitate a flyen poo flinging monkey.

LOL! We knew we would get you back here posting Ray

I don't mind the fly'n monkey's hanging around (pun intended).... they just really, really need to stay away from my orange blossoms?

Do they like cold beer?

Maybe that is why you thought your trees didn't bloom this year Susie...Ray drove them over to your house for a night of harvesting?
