Fess up, Don....there's a ground hog buried under that plant, isn't there?? Speaking of "The Ground Hog Hosta", is this plant still around? Love to see a current pic!!! Wonder if it's devoured a small city by now. Here is a link that might be useful: Source of photo

Ronald, great pics...ah I miss fruit-season. I had a lot of Kohalas this year and some Biew Kiews. The Kohalas were good and had a sort of melon-taste to them, almost like a version of honeydew. I had Kohalas from 5 different trees and the taste was ever-changing between them, but this is because they were grown in different locations and picked at different times. My Biew Kiew was also good, but each fruit tasted like it had been dipped in a liquer...don't get me wrong, they were very very good...I'm just wondering if anyone else knows what I mean by that taste.

Oh that's a beautiful specimen. Reading about it, I'm sure I'd be glad to have a couple of those. I love the fact that it is fragrant. It has so many qualities and in looking at yours Natal it appears very hardy. How large was yours when you purchased it? I'm assuming you purchased it locally. What about you Wodka, same questions. Nice to know it grows from a cutting also. One of the things I want to do is plant fragrant vines and plants by the doors as I love that when I'm entering and exiting. Right now I have to walk around my neighborhood smelling all the neighbor's fragrant flowers. LOL Thanks for the information and photo's.

That was where I found them, too, Kath, after much searching. AND they didn't have the cute, fancy topped ones, so I ended up at a sandwich shop and bummed about 100 from the owner, a friend. I got the extra long ones because the collosal olives are a bit bigger than the jumbos. I'm glad you like the snail recipe, it looks like more fun food and people really seem to go for that kind of thing. It's all about the presentation, I found that out with the penguins. No one had ever seen anything like that before. I'm still thanking Lydia for the Mexican roll-up link that led to the penguins in the first place. Get some photos of the snails, OK? I'd like to see yours with the babies!
