Meyer lemons
I was the pleased recipient of a Meyer lemon tree (in a container) when my friend CEN moved north.
I'm not sure it's flourished exactly, but it's done fine outdoors in the last two summers, with a bit of fertilizing and pruning out offshoots of the kaffir lime rootstock (I need to do this again). And, it's spent indoors in the winter, with sun exposure through a sunny southern window. (I need to get a decent photo during the day).
It's produced 5 lemons this year, 4 of which have turned a lovely shade of yellow already. Woo-hoo! The fifth is still green, but I'll see what it does.
They're not yet fragrant, but I'll wait a bit more before using them in something special. (This account details some good suggestions).
This post (note the arrow) shows the lemon in May 2010 - it produced four lemons last year.

How nice to see it with fruit! A year before I got that tree, I gave another to a friend for Christmas. She sent me a photo of it this summer. Wish I'd saved the photo now, but it was loaded with fruit. So maybe yours is catching up.
