MY VERY OWN BUDDHA'S HAND PLANT






Lucky me got to get my hands on this Buddha Hand plant.  Mind you, it isn't that easy to find.  Lemon, lime and kaffir lime plants are easily available but not this particular type of citron.  So when I saw it on sale at the market, I quickly bought it. I will be planting it in the Herb Garden soon.
For your information, Buddha's hand (Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis) or fingered citron), is a fragrant citron variety whose fruit is segmented into finger-like sections. This plant is said to have originated from Northeastern India or China.
