Yeah!! I planted a Velencia orange tree in my back yard, and it has hundreds of blooms on it - its only 2 years old, but is growing fast! Last year, I had about 35 oranges on it and made some great orange juice. I really don't know the best time to pick them, but all I picked were great for juice. They smell great, I love the air to waft through the house when I open the Lanai up, and open the screened front door.

I have one of those invisible sliding / roll up screen doors on the front, and the cross ventilation lets the smell blow through! Love it!!! Thank god I don't have allergies though!!

Yes, I have been smelling the blossoms the past few days with this wind and it does smell good. I do have allergies, but I am not allergic to the flowers. More weeds and pollen than anything.

Yep and the only thing better than the smell is the taste of fresh squeezed OJ in the morning.
