One thing I really love about Perth is that so many people have citrus trees in their yards. I love walking around our neighbourhood, in this, the 'dead of winter' (read: more like a Massachusetts spring), and seeing enormous lemon trees laden with fruit everywhere.
We aren't so lucky: our house doesn't have a citrus tree, but generous friends and family have shared lemons (regular and Meyer), key limes, oranges, and a mystery citrus fruit. The mystery fruit is orange-skinned, but tart like a lime. I think I would describe it as more floral than regular lime juice. Here's one of the mystery fruits:
My internet research had almost convinced me that they were rangpur limes, but the fruit did not have the green seeds that rangpurs are supposed to have. Maybe they were bitter oranges?
I was a bit overwhelmed and not quite sure what to do with a bounty of mystery fruit, so these guys ended up zested and juiced and stashed in the freezer.
