Hello
We have heard that a great time to go to Sicily is when the orange blossoms are in bloom, but have found differing times of year for this.
Does anyone have any experience or guidance about this?
Much appreciated

Blossoms vary on all trees with the weather, and the blooms all vary with the variety. Go in late April and relish the serendipity of travel. If you see Tarocco or Sanguinello (a/k/a blood) oranges in the markets be sure to buy some.

We were there mid to lat April this year, and I kept saying that I’m sure
I smell fresh laundry.
I was told it was orange blossom, but I didn’t see any blossoms.
It smelled wonderful.
This was in Palermo.

Thanks SJ - Palermo is in our plan - and we were thinking perhaps April/May - so thanks for confirming that too!
