I cannot see a lemon tree without thinking of the one at the back of my grandparents house,and my mother had a thing about crepe myrtles and Geraldon Wax trees.For some reason I always tie in Hoyas with old ladies - they seem such an old-fashioned plant, but Daphne seems to be popular with everyone.I think I'm probably more a herb person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925100199063229025.post-27781267771206885712008-08-01T11:57:00.000+10:002008-08-01T11:57:00.000+10:00It's cold here too.

It's one of those scents you can never sniff a deep enough sniff. I love reading your description of it, too and the scene you have painted of your childhood memories. You will do very well, in Inglewood, should anything happen to the powergrid. You have a safehaven that is so beautiful.
