Writing the above post brought back a memory from one of my scouting trips to Phoenix.  Landscape architect Greg Trutza was showing me some of the gardens he'd designed, and one of his clients offered to make us lunch.  We dined alfresco under the shade of a grapefruit tree, and she offered us iced water perfumed with its blossoms.   It was a sweet surprise in every sense, and one of the most memorable glasses of water I've ever drunk.

My Meyer lemon tree won't get tall enough to provide a canopy, but I'll have flowers with much the same scent and can copy the perfumed water idea.  If you're growing citrus, so can you.
