It's Time to Stop and Smell the "Citrus Blossoms"

March 31, 2011 From year to year I sometimes forget that with the warming days of Spring comes the most wonderful smell - Citrus Blossoms. Perfumers have tried to capture this unique scent. Some have almost succeeded, but none are the same experience as smelling the real thing. When the Inland Empire had thousands of acres of Citrus, I imagine that the scent of the blossoms was quite overwhelming. It would be sad if we lost all these groves. Fortunately, municipalities are creating citrus parks in order to preserve this heritage. It is also a benefit to all of us that many folks include at least one citrus tree in their landscaping. Our CENTURY 21 Lois Lauer Realty office is situated adjacent to the orange grove that is maintained by the San Bernardino County Museum. We have the perk of breathing in the orange blossom scent as we come and go to work. Our clients who come from other parts of the country often ask us about this unique scent. Clearly citrus trees in blossom are an enhancement to our environment.
