citrus blossom

Lemon tree bloom

Citrus blossom refers to the fragrant white flowers of citrus trees—orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit.

The blossoms are prized for their sweet, heady scent, often used in perfumery and flavoring: notes of citrus blossom and jasmine, orange blossom water.

Citrus trees can bear fruit and flowers simultaneously, making groves especially aromatic during bloom.
