01Sep06 Plectranthus Tomentosa - 13401

1 September 2006... I've photographed this plant several times but have never posted anything before... It is a really interesting plant - with fuzzy leaves. It's common name is "Vick's Plant" as it smells like vick's vapor rub when you crush the leaves. My neighbor gave me a piece of it from one of her plants when we moved in several years ago and it has thrived in the windowsill...

I had seen this plant, in your window. You never told me it had a smell of vick's and I never noticed it was so fuzzy, but I had touched the leaves and noticed they were soft feeling.
