Another one for the wish list! I use Palmers, it doesn't seem to be having the desired effect  |

Hi all I can finally say I could smell the chocolate from a Sharry baby. I was in a Home Depot that I don't often go and they had around 8 Blooming Sharry Baby's and the air was filled with Chocolate. How Awesome!!

So, did you buy any of the Sharry Babies to make your home smell like chocolate too?

Actually I already have one that just dropped its last flower, but the scent was nothing like 8 flowering plant with multiple spikes in same area. Wow what a treat. Also I am saving all my pennies for the WOC my wish list has gotten long  |

Mine is beginning to fade. But for three straight weeks, it filled my living room with the aroma of chocolate. And it only had a few flowers. Maybe 20, max! I can't imagine how multiple plants with multiple spikes blooming together would make my living room smell like.

Mine didn't really do that. You had to have your nose by it to smell it. It was the first flowering I got of it. I know it has bloomed before, because I saw where other flower spikes had been. Maybe next time!

I bought mine at the WOC and although most of the blooms have already fallen off, my office smelled wonderful each morning until about last week.
It brought a smile to my face each morning. Sigh. I must buy another one because I really miss the scent. I'm a Sharry Baby addict.

I'm not addicted to the smell. I'm addicted to the chocolate that it reminds me of!
