African Lime Tree Flower.....

.... growing in the glasshouse in the Cambo Walled Garden.

According to my plant info app the flowers have very sensitive stamens and when they are bumped, the stamens puff out, causing more pollen to get onto the pollinator insects' bodies.
The wood is too soft for use as timber but the plant produces a reasonable fibre.

Kingsbarns Open Gardens on Sunday afternoon so hope for a dry, wind free afternoon for our floral wanderings.
