I used to live where an orange tree hung over the fence. What a fragrance those blossoms had! The oranges weren’t very good, very seedy. The roof rats got them and hollowed them out, leaving them all over the yards. Besides the orange tree the neighbors had trash, so rats.
I have a pear tree. Squirrels go crazy for pears: they take two or 3 bites, then something scares them, they drop the pear and run away. Later, they come back and repeat. I have pears on the ground, half eaten and rotting away, and lots of butterflies that love pears apparently, but also wasps….. 🙂

I like that the Arabic words are included, sounds delightful to gather orange blossom in the mountains of Lebanon.
