The fruits in the picture are about the size of an orange. Being in the east coast I'm just not used to seeing citrus trees, so I was excited to see so many of them. Fern - I thought the smell of jasmine was heavenly until I discovered citrus flowers! Rowena - Thanks for clarifying the plumeria for me.

Absolutely love the smell of citrus flowers. That white flower is definitely plumeria (common name frangipani) as Fern stated. We've got trees of those growing at my parents' home in Hawaii. They're used for making those wonderful flower garland <i>leis</i>. Even the wee bit of perfume scent that we get from our kumquats makes me go crazy whenever I sit outside for a spell.

The university I went to for my BA had an orange grove and when the trees were blooming it was one of the most heavenly smells imaginable. The mystery plant could be plumeria?

Hard to tell how big the fruits are in that second photo. They look a lot like calamondins - we grew them in our back yard in Florida. The fruits are only about the size of a large grape. I really miss growing citrus. Looks like a beautiful place! Hard to tell how big the fruits are in that second photo. They look a lot like calamondins – we grew them in our back yard in Florida.
