Kiss My Kumquat

Kumquats are so nostalgic for me as are loquats. When I see these small citrusy fruits, they mentally take me back to my old neighborhood and childhood. But my question is, what was Nature thinking when she(yeah I wrote SHE)created kumquats? Kumquats are native to Japan. I didn't even know kumquats still existed here in California. My friend Larryssa picked these kumquats from her tree for me. How delicious !
