Chocolate cosmos

Another image from Wallington - lovely dark red-brown flower, so called because it smells like chocolate!  Added one of Kim's textures, kk_anne.  (Click to enlarge)

  2. I've seen many cosmos but never one like this ! And if they smell like chocolate are they edible too ? If so, where do I get me some ?

  7. What a pretty flower, Julia. I've never heard of a flower smelling of chocolate! That is truly bizarre...

    Thanks for the lovely comment - yes, I am thoroughly impressed with our plumber's work - beautiful pipework that is going to be all covered up is a mark of true craftsmanship and yes, definitely a tribute to his Creator! An example to us all.
