I took new pictures, forgot to smell it. Whatcha think about it now? Oh, it is in mostly shade. Sun for about two hours.

And the blue flower belongs to spiderwort.

Flowers! The crushed leaves smells nice. I would not describe it as like celery. It smells much nicer than"green", how I describe some of the weeds we eat.

According to Plants for a Future we are in it's range. How cool! I like it. And it's perennial And the boiled root is a chocolate substitute! (Yeah, right. I like carob, but it's no chocolate substitute!)
 
Of course, I found a very beautiful couch. Definitely. And this tiny ad:
