It was not until a few weeks ago that I first tasted a clementine – little did I know beforehand how delicious it would be! They are a variation of the mandarin orange and similar to a tangerine.
But out of all the citrus fruits, clementines are now my favorite.
Interesting facts: And as a girl’s name, Clementine (Latin) means merciful, mild, gentle. Clementine was the name my great-great-great grandmother went by (it was her middle name), as well as the name of Winston Churchill’s wife.
Definitely one of my favourites….love ’em!
And your photos make them look even more delicious…. mmmm
I just love the color of clementines!

Clemetines are my favorite citrus fruit as well! They are delightful and oh, so scrumptious! If I can remember right, I tasted my first clementine in China, when we went to pick my sweet little sister up! She enjoys them greatly, and if we have them at our house (as we do now), you can be sure to see her eating one!
Many Blessings,

We love clementines! They are about the only oranges we ever eat now. :) My Mother just bought some the other day, and I think I have almost devoured them all!
I L.O.V.E clementines! The box that your clementines came in is just perfect. :)
I adore clementines! They are so juicy and yummy!

Clementines are great. And thank you for the history lesson; very interesting!
Now this post has given a little sunny summer to a very dreary winter day! LOVELINESS!
We first heard about clementines a few years ago when we lived in VT. They are very good, although it has been a while since I have had one. :)
Thanks for sharing those interesting facts about the name Clementine!
Blessings!

Hi, Emily Rose!
I haven’t talked to you in so long! I can’t wait until Melissa and I come to ya’lls house! BTW what’s your email? =)
I never knew that about the name Clementine! Very cool. Thanks!
Abigail, it’s so nice to hear from you! Yes, it has been a while – I’m looking forward to your and Melissa’s visit very much! You can find my email address here. Blessings, Emily Rose

Oh, yes! Clementines are one of the best! Congratulations on discovering them!
Clementines are so delicious! =) I love how petite and yummy they are. So juicy and yummy-a delightful afternoon snack. Beautiful photography, too! {I think I always say that…but all of your photos are truly *amazing*!}
With Joy in Christ,

We keep a steady supply of these–so good:)
You have an amazing camera! Beautiful photos!
Clementines are so good! The crates they come in are really very cute. I have one in my room holding knitting things, and another (the same blue “Darling Clementines” type that you have) holding books that are too tall for my shelf.

Our family loves Clementines too! It’s our special Thanksgiving treat and there is always a box in the house until New Years. :) As omni-present as the citrus fruits are, I still like the name. Very sweet!
Wow, really your first time eating one eh!? Cool! I just love them myself and enjoy them so very much!
Thanks for sharing that neat info. about the name “Clementine”! :)

Love the clementines. Where are the Darling Clementines from?
The ones I’ve been getting here in Georgia are Bagu, S.A. from Spain, also Del Monte ones from Chile. I’ve tried some that I believe were from California, but didn’t like those as much. Just interested in where the ones you get are grown. I really enjoy your blog.
Mary, the Darling Clementines are from Spain, as well. And thank you! Blessings, Emily Rose
Wow, you’ve never had a clementine until a few weeks ago? Good thing you tried them though. Were they seedless? We’ve bought seedless ones before only to find that every single piece has a seed in it. They’re a good winter fruit. Keep warm in this FREEZING weather! Bethany
Catching up on the blogs today. :)
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy the photos you take! :)
The second picture is eye-popping orange and I LOVE it!
I just saw the post with Breezy’s pictures, I wish I lived closer, I’d have you take mine. That would be SO much fun.
Love you and miss you all.
Hugs all around,
Marie :)
May Dad wanted to name me Clementine : )
My brothers love them so much that they eat most of before I get one of them! They eat most of them in one sitting! But they learned their lesson…eating to many Clementines gives you a tummy ache! :) Off to eat one now :D
Oh, I love Clementines! They are so sweet and delicious, and my favorite citrus fruit as well. =) Your photographs are stunning, as always, Emily.
Many blessings,
Annie
