There is a great place over in the Panhandle http://www.justfruitsandexotics.com/Citrus.htm that has Moro Blood Orange. I have bought several things from them, and all were great. It is more than an hour or two from Orlando, but worth the trip just to see all that they have. They also ship.

Yes, Duarte Growers are a reputable company, and provide quite a bit of citrus for Lowe's, Home Depot and Costco around here. And dancer, if you copy the .html code right into the body of your message, the photo will appear right in your message. Better than a link :-) And I've got some things to pot up too, but it's in the mid-80's here today, and slated to hit high 80's tomorrow. Plus it's humid. We must be getting some monsoon weather pushing up from the Gulf of Mexico. Hate this muggy hot stuff we get here occasionally. Ugh. Time to flip on the air conditioner, bummer! Patty S.

Cena, of what I read, the female moths lay eggs on new leaves, just beneath the surface; when the larvae hatch they tunnel through the leaves, creating a winding, blotchy trail. As well as distorting foliage, heavy infesations can cause defoliation and retard growth of young trees. To control this bug, apply oil sprays. Perhaps Neem oil or Fish Emulsion..there's many other types in the market..Toni

No problem PKG. I envy you the beach actually. I really dread the heat waves we do get slightly inland. We don't have AC and some nights it's tough. But they are few and most nights the fog comes in. I just love the beach weather, I like the fog and the cooler temps and the smells of seaweed, salt and all of it. Plus the sound of the waves is so calming. Ryan, that's so interesting. I have heard that a change in day/night temps colors up citrus peels much better than tropical day/night heat. You don't see it much anymore, but I remember from my childhood in the summer we got Valencia juice oranges from Florida in the markets and the peels were part green but the inside was still very sweet. Maybe the color of blood oranges works on the same principle? Anyway, it's nice to see them ripening up in cooler temps! My first experience with blood oranges was on a trip to Spain. I went with my Mother when I was a teen in 1976.( dating myself here, lol.) That's what they used in Sangria pretty much exclusively and it was delicious. The age to serve alcohol was much lower than the USA. We stayed about 3 months, (my Mom had an extended leave from work, she was a teacher and it was counted as education training experience, though no pay was given) and shopped in the local markets. Citrus was a large part of the diet there and they had way more varieties than we had at the time in the grocery. It's also where I first tasted Jaffa oranges from Israel, an amazingly delicious fruit. A shame they're not sold more often in Garden Centers, they would do quite well in CA as it's similar weather. Wow, sorry for the wall of text! Anyway, congrats on your blood oranges PKG!
