The old and the new

"Lemon Tree" is a folk song written by Will Holt in the 1960s. The tune is based on the Brazilian folk song Meu limão, meu limoeiro, arranged by José Carlos Burle in 1937. The song compares love to a lemon tree,

"Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat."

This image of said lemon flowers on one of two lemon trees in my conservatory shows the old one in its faded glory with the newcomers in the background.
