Not many people talk about the smell of marigolds, but I love their scent. It's a very robust, peppery green smell...like wild onions almost.

They have a peppery taste, too. You can eat them. They are a nice addition to a spring salad

My favorite flower; plumeria aka frangipani. The scent of plumeria and ocean air is the scent of Kona for me

My file isn't uploading.... so here's a pic by someone else:

But does Rosemary mind?

That's all well and good, but what does she think about that???

Oh wow - great minds think alike (and

fools seldom differ?

)

A herbalist told me this a while back (that is it good for memory). I like to grow rosemary in the garden - it's nice to pick it fresh.

When I was quite young (maybe 7 or 8 years old) I picked a yellow flower (roots and all) from a marshy swampy area on the side of the road.

I brought it back home and planted it in the corner of the back yard by a big post. I think it actually survived as the ride-on lawnmower could not touch it and it was shady enough that it did not get dried out. It's probably gone by now but it's surprising that flowers can be so adaptable, even when taken from their native areas.

I am pretty sure it was one of these:

Purple Impatiens. I want to plant them again someday. Maybe today.

No, she gets tired of sniffing herself.

Remember that Impatiens are an annual not a perennial. The only way they come back next year is if their seeds generate.

Thank you. I know this. Wish they were .

My favorite flowers, though. The purples and dark blues with a smatter of white ones.

What's handy, too, is that Impatiens like the shade. Lots of us have lots of shade which limits what we can grow.
