Thank you for all you nice comments!

Rubbing the leaves on your skin really does help keep the mosquitoes away. I don't know why I don't us it more often! This year they were drooping most of the time from too much heat and no water but they are survivors. Thumbs up I'm so happy to see the fruit as it's food for so much wildlife.

Ann, that sounds so pretty and that's nice that they will last so long!

Jan, ah yes, the white berry is not as common. I would love to see it in person or I'll have to look for seeds and grow some. Big Grin
