Hoya carnosa

Another lovely plant Meanie :-), looks like its made of wax .........

AKA The Wax Plant Simbad!

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.

That's the one DD!

love this plant, nice one...

Well fancy that, lol :-)

Thanks SL!

Looking to get a couple of different species now.................

sounds interesting Meanie, any in particular...

It must smell terrific!

I'm looking for a really dark one SL.................

Heavenly Delonix!!!

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?

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..................

I'm talking about the natural old-time root beer. Not the common stuff available today.

Ah - progress is not always better is it!

Very true!

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