Decorating with Citrus for the Holidays

Southern Living

Florida is the citrus state producing more than 70% of the nation's citrus. I have always loved decorating with oranges, lemons, limes, and kumquats for the holidays, but they are especially appropriate (and plentiful) here in south Florida. I love this front entrance with magnolia wreaths and cuttings, pinecones, and oranges. So easy, so elegant, and so southern.

Citrus & Chinoiserie

Mary McDonald

 

I was watching HGTV and for a Palm Springs flip, they planted several citrus trees and called it a cocktail grove - I love this idea. I would like them in a section of my garden in large blue and white Chinese fishbowls - a chinoiserie cocktail grove.

There are several varieties I would love to explore finding here including Meyer lemon, Kaffir lime, and the variegated Pink Lemonade. Another fun project!
