Got this plant as a housewarming gift last year and it’s blooming for the first time!

Beautiful. My mother always grew them and, growing up in Indiana, they were grown indoors (they're not fans of cold). Then I moved to L.A. and my first day on the job, I see a row of African Violets planted outside the building. I was just stunned.

That's awesome, I would be stunned by orange trees tbh lol

We had a grapefruit tree in one backyard and a key lime tree in another in the places where we lived. Never got an orange tree sadly, but there were lots of opportunities to get fresh oranges. Avocados too.

Jealousy intensifies I had a crab apple tree in my yard when I was a kid, I guess they theoretically might be edible?
