I am no citrus expert, so I can't really say if the leaves are bigger than normal. To me, they just look like any old citrus leaves :) I described the flowers/buds as pinkish red, but thy are more a purplish color. It is the buds and outside of the flowers that have this color. I flound a picture of lemon blossoms (unknown type) on the web and they look a lot like what I have except the buds on the tree I have were a little darker. You are probably right. It is probably some kind of Lemon. It came from Lowes. I had a Meyer Lemon at my previous home, but I couldn't remember what color the flowers were. I thought that they were white, but I guess I was wrong about that.

Oops sorry my intent was not to confuse or to incite "wonton lust" it was just pure ignorance. Mindy its good that you brought this up because I think I added the same frustration and confusion to the plant swap. Think I am going to move on to Mid Atlantic.just a square peg. Katy Mindy, Answering this one is like choosing which one of my three daughters is my favorite, which like every good parent I say is impossible. Then again if I had to chose right now as of this moment it is my oldest who is coming home next weekend for a non stop marathon in Excell instruction in the hopes that I will be able to combine records from junk drawers, sweat shirt pockets, ect. and put together a concise record and maintenance plan for the yard that extends beyond the present "Oh you mean the big bush in the front yard."

Katy *** I grow more varieties of hydrangea macrophylia than I want to admit to either my DH or you and considered to the best of my ability what I thought was a special macrophylia that to date has been under used in New England.
