CHOCOLATE COSMOS ('Cosmos atrosanguineus')

When I heard about this plant, I had to go rush out and buy it. It is one of the world's rarest plants and originated in the oak/oak pine forests of Mexico. However, most of its original environment has eroded and this plant has disappeared from its original habitats. There are endeavours to re-establish this plant in the wild but this is very difficult since all plants now sold throughout the world originates from a clone which does not seed.
This plant has beautiful dusky maroon flowers which impart a spicy CHOCOLATE aroma and grows to be approximately 45 cm tall. The best bit is that it has a low water demand and grows in sunny or partly shaded areas. (Thanks to Duncan Lissett for this link.)

COCOA SHELL MULCH & COCOA SHELL MEAL

Check out this site for the 'low down' on this mulch which seems to be a must for 'chocolate lovers' who love gardening as well. Apparently it imparts a natural fragrance of chocolate to the garden.
Thanks go to Stephen G. Short for this link. He informs me that you may be able to get Cocoa Shell Mulch from the 'Mars factory' in Temple, Texas. CONTACT: Richard Parsons (secretary is Chris) Phone # 817 776 2100
