My hardy orange is in full flower in these cool April days.
"Cool" in both ways in these still-chilly-at-night weeks, thanks to the starry scatter of pure white flowers, so eager, so delicate...
...and yet arising from such a brutally spiky plant.   
As soon as their show is over—another week or so—we'll return to the hardy orange, this time with the big camera, the pruning platform, and even the loppers and folding saw: It will be pruning time!
Not "off with its head" time, just tidying and slimming, making the contours clear and the shape more, well, shapely. A day at the spa, not an assassination.
