Did you know that Vernonia amygdalina (ndolé in Cameroon, aloma in southern Togo) has flowers that smell heavenly?
I only discovered that this week, because we haven't cut them for a while (we eat the leaves), which is quite unusual for us.
I can't convey the smell, but at least I can show you the flowers.
The pictures are of less than average quality, because I have a problem with the card reader I use for my camera, so these are taken with my tablet.
I trust it gives you an idea of how they look like though.
As usual, I'm thrilled when you appreciate my posts, much less when you use them or the pictures without asking first. Please ask. It's the decent thing to do, and it's the law. Thanks!
