Thanks, Fred.

The Spanish lime is native to Central and South America, and the Caribbean. Years ago, when I went to Jamaica, I tried this fruit, for the first time. The fruits are green, and about the size of a cherry plum. Inside, the flesh is a peachy orange color. After peeling a bit of skin off, the whole fruit can be popped into your mouth. While in your mouth, you can suck the flesh from off the pit. The seed takes up most of the space inside the fruit, but the flesh is sweet. These fruits are very similar, in this way, to lychee, and longan.

Yeah, Camellias bloom for longer periods, in the Deep South, because cycles are are often interrupted by freeze periods. True roses don't bloom continuously, but usually have multiple bloom cycles, per season, because they put on new foliage, and flower buds. Camellias set just one cycle of flower buds per year, that all open within a few week, indoors, or intermittently, between freezes, until all flower buds have either opened, or froze off.
