Photo Hunt - Delicious


The subject for this week's entry for Photo Hunt is delicious. I don't have any nice food photos so here's a photo of the only thing still in bloom at the moment apart from the hebe. This is Zaluzianskya capensis (or Midnight Candy), which has a delicious candy scent - just like dolly mixtures. And there you have another photo which has only a tenuous link to this week's theme!

  12. That's a lovely photo and works well for the delicious theme. A delicious scent is a meaning I considered but ended up being more pedestrian. Have a great weekend.

  18. Joke aside some communities eat flowers too. So your beautiful fragrant flower must taste good too.
