The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is candy. I don't have any pics of chocolate but I do still have one Zaluzianskya capensis form last year in bloom. The common name for this is midnight candy because it opens at night and fills the air with a delightful smell like dolly mixturesThese are dolly mixtures if you are not familiar with them
The midnight candy is beautiful. I love the way it stands out so well in the dark. The dolly mixture looks delicious. Hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat midnight candy is my kind of candy :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your candy mixture and a happy weekend !!
i love the flower! never heard about it.
ReplyDeletecolorful candies.
happy weekend jams!
First time I saw the flower!
ReplyDeleteLove these mixture, its so inviting even though the colors, texture and taste(?) would be different...Happy PH!
Oh what a pretty flower!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend.
Waaaa... look so yummy. Haven't eaten those candies for few years already. Looking at the photo make me miss the taste of it.
ReplyDeleteAh thanks for visiting. I'm glad you liked the midnight candy. Littlepolaris, they are very more-ish eh?
ReplyDeletethe flowers sound delicious too lol!
ReplyDeletehappy weekend!
I like both your candy photos. That Midnight candy is beautiful and that's a great photo of the sweets too...
ReplyDeleteThose flowers called Midnight Candy looks cool! We have a plant that has flowers that bloom from January - March (here in the Philippines) and these flowers too give a wonderful scent at night. The Midnight Candies, the edible ones, these look cool too :)
ReplyDeleteHave a sweet weekend!
What a beautiful flower, I took a similar "take" on the theme this week so pop over & check it out. :D
ReplyDeleteBoth photos are wonderful. I love the flower, but I have never heard of it. I have a plant that opens 8 a´clock every evening. Now I must search for some info about the Midnight candy.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteI only have one up on my art blog: http://elasah.com/?p=41--will post a regular photo later.
midnight candy and sweet candy, can I have a bite
ReplyDeleteI love your shot. Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteNice photos on the candy!!
ReplyDeleteI was NOT familiar with Dolly Mixtures ... and I thought I was pretty well aware of ALL candy! LOL! I can tell you which one I want! It's that little black one in the bottom left corner... the licorice one! Yep! THAT one!
ReplyDeleteThe first is great eye candy. In fact, both photos are good eye candy. Some of the lolly mix are called gumdrops here.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I mean dolly mixtures.
ReplyDeleteBoth terrific shots for the theme! Happy weekend to you too Jams!
ReplyDeleteDolly mixture? I've never heard that phrase - but what a great shot, mate.

ReplyDeleteDolly mixture is too cute. I have never heard this phrase, sounds like a medicine you know.
I've never heard of dolly mixtures but they look really good.
ReplyDeleteOhhh - dolly mixture - It was always being mentioned in the (now very) old Goon Show on the Beeb :)
ReplyDeleteMidnight candy - it must smell heavenly!
ReplyDeleteThat flower looks beautiful - I have a lily on my kitchen counter from Mother's Day - but I'm not keen on it - it isn't one of the nice smelling lilies that I've had before.
ReplyDeleteI (used to) love dolly-mixtures!
ReplyDeleteThe midnight candy looks beautiful, and it's a great shot.

ReplyDeleteWonderful midnight candy! And if it smells like dolly mixtures it must smell delightful but won't last lang (at least dolly mixtures don't last long, around this house!)
ReplyDeleteI like the flowers and the story why it's called midnight candy.
