Flower Power

The eggplant is finally producing flowers, but no fruit, the flowers simply fall off before any fruit starts to form. At least the plant is looking a lot healthier now, although it's unlikely we will have any eggplant to eat this summer.

My favorite insect also made a rare visit, it was the first honeybee I saw on the balcony. I had a honey bee hive a number of years ago when I lived on a much larger property and have a real affinity for them. The flowers of interests were the second blossoming of the meyer lemon tree which smelled amazing. More on the lemon tree in the next post.
