Back sometime in December or January (whenever clementines came into season) I had one in the office and it had a single seed in it. I decided to plant that seed in the same pot as Princess not really expecting it to grow but more on the idea that it would be really awesome to have an orange tree in my office so that when I got hungry I could just pick one off and eat it. This was an off the wall idea and I never expected it to take off but a couple weeks ago I found a new sprig growing in Princess's pot and thought at first that it was another shoot from her but after the leaves opened I wasn't sure what it was. So in the process of replanting Princess to a larger pot I dug around this new little sprig a bit and found my orange seed with a root out the bottom and the leafy bits out the top. I replanted it and it now has its' own pot. I read a bit about orange trees and it takes many years to ever grow and I would most likely need another tree to provide for polination but it is still pretty awesome and I hope that it will grow to be huge.
