Walking on a path in the Huntington Library, I suddenly saw this fruit that was neither yellow nor green and one end was pointed and the other end was round. When I found the sign, I learned it was a Sungold lemon. It’s a variation of the Eureka lemon. If you want to grow Sungold Lemon, be sure to wear thick gloves because this kind of lemon has thorns.
走在亨廷頓圖書館裏的一個小徑上，突然看到這個不黃不綠，一頭尖一頭圓的果實，找到標示，才知道這是Sungold 檸檬。它是尤里卡檸檬的變種。如果你要種植 Sungolds的話，一定要戴上厚厚的手套：因為這種檸檬有刺。

Notes 筆記
- The lemon (Citrus limon) is a species of small evergreen trees in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, native to Asia, primarily Northeast India (Assam), Northern Myanmar or China.
- The Sungold lemon is a variety of citrus that features bright green- and yellow-striped fruit and variegated, aromatic foliage. It’s a variation of the Eureka lemon, originally discovered in California and later patented. Unique from the Eureka lemon, the Sungold will show green streaks across its rind and leaves.
- If growing Sungolds, make sure to have a thick pair of gloves: this variety of lemon has thorns!

- Sungold 檸檬是一種柑橘類水果，有鮮綠及黃色條紋的果實以及雜色芳香的葉子。它是尤里卡檸檬的變種，最早是在加州發現的，後來獲得了專利。 不同於尤里卡檸檬之處在於 Sungold 的果皮和葉子上會出現綠色條紋。
