But even if they kvetched, I'm very impressed you went to their rescue. Great karma. I think I heard somewhere that mallards have an unusually high sex drive for birds - maybe that explains the lack of survival instinct there. :-) Around here it's the squirrels right now which are causing me to come close to wrecking my car on a regular basis. Have only seen Buddha's Hand citrus actually growing in Pakistan. Extremely cool that you have had one - I know the fruit is the main attraction, but I remember the flowers having a lovely scent as well. Taking a quiet moment here for your robin.

My pride and joy was a Buddha's Hand citrus. (I must admit all these trees were cared for by my partner...but I DID request, a la Louis V, the trees be "present"...surely I get credit for that?) I was thinking of you this week as I swerved off the road when I saw a mallard duck mourning his run-over mate...smack dab in the road amidst traffic. I parked illegally, raced to the spot to move the body and make the living mallard go away to a safer spot. After I trudged thru mud, cars and bicyclists, I reached the mournful scene to find the damned mallard lady laying down and MUNCHING ON GRASS CLIPPINGS...in the busy street. Both ducks "screamed" at me and walked away -- thankfully not into traffic. Ducks are either the dumbest animal ever or are so full of hormones this time of year they don't fear anything.) My robin has not returned...and now it is too late to expect him. Other birds are nesting here...but of a different type: jays and flickers -- gregarious, but in a bad way! I know they curse us in bird-speak for daring to walk in the yard near their nests. Good luck to your heron this season, K Elle: All those trees not only bloomed inside but had fruit on them…the kumquats were delicious. My pride and joy was a Buddha's Hand citrus.

And $18? Is this cosmic compensation for my years of substantial financial offerings to the perfume gods? Am going out to pick up this reward tomorrow w/out fail. But I'm also in awe of all those trees you've had inside your house in the winter! Unless I moved DH's piano out of the house, I'm not sure I could make that work (the sunniest room is his piano room, but it wouldn't have enough room as it is). However, let's just say that DH's piano won't be allowed to go. Ever. And I hesitate to ask, but...has he returned? Champaca, Dior, Balmain? And $18?

You CAN grown a small champaca tree up here in a greenhouse. I have had two orange trees, a kumquat and a lime tree do fine inside my house in winter...just give them a coolish sunny room...and let them "live" outside in summer.

I'm going to track a bottle down right away. I'm interested in the Champaca tree, too. I wonder if it would survive in the Pacific NW? Sounds like a long shot.
