This is a bit silly now that I look at it, but this is what I fear I will have to do to my little lime tree, who has unthinkingly produced about 20 flowers on one spindly branch alone. I don't know if they will all turn into limes, but if they do, there will have to be lots of strings attached!
That said, I love my lime tree (who I have named Kermit). I have only had him for about 6 months. The prospect of having my own lime production centre is very exciting because my husband and I have this motto: "everything is better with lime" which we decided upon in Mexico, when we couldn't think of one food that wouldn't be better with lime juice. Can you?

Oh, I don't think this looks silly at all. I've always dreamed of creating an espalier out of a young apple tree. A lime espalier would be just as nice! Here's hoping you get an abundance of limes soon!
I like how you include the leaves/flowers pattern on the limes.
Kermit is to cute Kim! :o)
How wonderful that you can get all those limes now. Haha your husband is right.. everything tastes better with lime :o)
I so envy people who can grow stuff! Your tree is adorable and I agree everything is better with a spritz of lime.
Beautiful string of spring ... Mexican beer sure needs lime.
Delicate and indeed beautiful take.
What a pretty plant. How fun that you at least know that the plant is thriving!
You are onto something with the limes! I completely concur! Nice illo! Quite lovely! Thanks for the comment on my blog.

I love the collage look of this piece, and the strings coming from all directions. Really wonderful!
I commend you for getting to grow a lime tree AND for getting to give you limes. I can't grow a thing! I've been trying to grow a gardenia tree for a few years...I'm on number 5 and I don't think this one is going to make it either. Good thing I'm a lot better with my kids! Thanks for your comment on my blog!
yer so cute and so is this! i love it Lil KIm!!! i also love your catch phrase " everything is better with lime" :)
I agree about everything is better with Lime!! What a gorgeous little tree you must have, I love this illo...those strings are too funny and adorable!
nope, I completely agree. Everything tastes better with lime, solid and liquid!
I hope your lime crop is abundant, with or without the need of a complex string scaffolding. :)
