    I've got 3 colors... all pretty but the purple is the most prolific and biggest blooms.

    Berlandiera lyrata (Chocolate Daisy) - had 4 seedlings, planted later on in the garden, all summer they were sulking (no rain) now grew a bit, but kinda leggy.
    REALLY smells like chocolate! Too bad it doesn't also taste like! :)

    A cute Erythrina crista-galli (from seeds I received from Argentina) and another cute Murraya (also has flower buds, wondering if it really smells heavenly)

    We have a Chocolate Cosmos that smells just like chocolate but I didn't know there was a daisy that had the same scent. Your Achimenes are lovely - I particularly like the yellow one.

    WOW. cool. Googled it. I thought it was the same plant, but isn't the case.
    that cosmos sure is cute.
    Would love to compare the two scents.
    You've got seeds?

    Sorry Calin but I sent the seeds to my fried in Greece as she badly wanted to try growing them over there. If I plant more of these cosmos though I'll keep you in mind for seeds at a later date.

    Here's a link if you'd like to order some for yourself:
