Used to grow this one a long time ago, if I remember it used to drip all over the windowsill....have I got the right one? it was a beautiful plant though.

They're so sweet-smelling. When I was at Disneyland last month there was a faux wall with large ones on it. The whole area smelled very sweet.

Amazing how even one cluster can be so fragrant!

Yes, it's because it full of fragrant sap...which is almost like honey. It looks like Karo syrup, though.

Karo syrup?
8 Oct, 2012
Yes, clear Karo syrup.

Looks like a cultural thing. We have a soft drink over here called Dandelion and Burdock - never seen it abroad, getting rarer over here. Very much an acquired taste.

How interesting! I've never heard of it before. I read it's something like Sarsaparilla...which is what the cowboys used to drink. It's not too available for sale much, either.

Must try that one day................

I had it a couple of times. It's similar to root beer.

Not too keen on root beer..................
10 Oct, 2012
I'm talking about the natural old-time root beer. Not the common stuff available today.

Ah - progress is not always better is it!
11 Oct, 2012
Very true!

Dandelion and Burdock that's a blast from the past!!
