We just exclaimed that phrase simultaneously, and like half of the otherwise quiet theater turned to look at us, because they had no idea what it meant.

You can pollinate the flowers manually, with a Q-tip, but the bees will do it as well, once they go outside. If you get more, just do it yourself to get a jump on the season. IDK if oranges have male and female flowers or not. but if they don't, like peppers, just gently squeeze them to match the pollen. If they do, use the Q-tip to take pollen from one flower to another, like you would with cucumbers.

Thanks so much for explaining how to pollinate them myself! I think I’m going to try that! You’ve got to admit that’s pretty cool to be able to do that by yourself since the plant is in the house!
