Congratulations to 3secondfish for winning the wee sample of Shalimar! I'll offer up another scent for a lucky recipient next week.

Today we got a new plant. Here it is:

how nice! tea. I love tea.

is that the sort that you can add bergamont too and make earl Grey? I must learn more about tea having had a cup of earl grey today.

[mollyringle]

Presumably you could add bergamot oil somehow and get Earl Grey, yeah. There may be special roasting procedures for the leaves on that blend; I'm not sure. But Earl Grey is made with regular black tea, so in theory, it'd work.

Wicked. My beloved wastrel grandfather and greatgrandfather once designed and built a mountain compound for a "tea" producer [but this fellow was into the far less legal variety]. :)

[mollyringle]

Hehe. Yes, I could always consider some weed for a side income. So much prettier than meth production, you know?

[3secondfish]

Yays! I has a perfume! :D

[mollyringle]

Yep! Sent it off today, so you should get it soon. Have fun sampling. :)

*waves hand in air* I know! I know! Because I've got one in my front yard. :-)

I haven't harvested mine yet, but I've moved it twice in the past four years and it had a bad year last year. I'm hoping this year the weather hasn't beaten it up too badly and I might get some first-flush.

Cool! Since you're in Seattle too, and it's still alive, I have hope. The Market guy told me that even if its leaves fall off after a tough freeze, we shouldn't panic, because it'll re-leaf. Let's hope so.
