A few months ago, we brought home the healthiest calamansi plant you can imagine. It was filled with both fruits and flowers.
For a few months, I enjoyed cutting off random fruit to add to dishes I prepared for my husband. Life was good.

I then start to notice that there were no new flowers. Leaves began to fall off too.
I immediately asked my Dad what to do, he said that it was normal. He said that the old leaves fall off to make way for new blooms.
Of course I believed him, but I can't help but think that my plant was, sick.
---
A few weeks ago, as I was watering my plant when I noticed new blooms! Not two nor three put maybe close to a dozen. Maybe even over a dozen, I was too excited to count!
I took a few photos using my phone so I can show my Mom.

It is funny how I would never have able to identify these flowers as that of a calamansi. Even when we first got the plant, the flowers were there only for a few days so you hardly have time to memorise how it looked like.
Sometimes I guess, I forget to make time to really see.
---
As you have guessed, all the blooms are gone now and I am left for numerous small dots--promises of an abundant harvest.
