Mock Orange

Oh I bet it smells good..... lovely!

No it really doesn't have much of a scent. But it's so pretty.

When was that blooming in your area? It is lovely

Some time in the spring. Not sure exactly when. It WILL take over here if I don't keep it in check. But it's so pretty I kinda let it go and then just mow it down after it blooms.

Gorgeous Ginger! I may have to get some cuttings or seed from you as I don't have any on our property.

How much do you want??? Or better yet....come for a visit. I will be most happy to send you some. I am off restriction now so can "play" again.

Wait until our house is built & then I can make sure anything I plant or grow gets proper care & doesn't croak on me. But I will want some then please.

DH & I don't know when we will feel comfortable traveling. We both (yeah) have celiac disease which means we have to eat gluten free & our bodies haven't healed enough yet to take an accidental glutening so we aren't taking any chances. We eat at home & it requires a lot of cooking.

Sounds like a big owie to me...not to worry the stuff isn't going anywhere....well it is, but it stays no matter how much it wants to take over

Hey, if you have to have a health problem this one's not so bad. You don't have to take any meds for it & as long as you remain gluten free then your villi & your body will heal itself. Not bad I say, not bad at all. There's just a very steep learning curve to eating gf & not getting cross contaminated. And there's no way in heck I would trust a restaurant to keep from contaminating our food. They just don't know the rules.
