Honey and money.

Unfortunately not the real things though!   When I was at the cemetery last Friday lots of the graves had bunches of small white flowers by them,  I think it's called Sweet Alison, but my Spanish wild flower book also calls it Sea Alyssum or Herba Blanca.   It grows wild everywhere here, from about October - or whenever the autumn rains start - through till June.   If you get a bunch and smell it,  it really does have a honey smell. 

Now this plant we used to have indoors in England - I think it's a Swedish Ivy -

but here I have it in pots on the terraces,  in a pot under the front garden olive tree where it gets dappled sun,  I put a few bits direct into the flower bed when they got broken off a plant and nearly all of them are now flowering.  A tiny candle-like delicate lavender colour.  When Marie Carmen was here last weekend she said the Spanish call it a money plant and if you've got a big plant you should have lots of money,  small plant - no money.  So what about if like us you have lots of plants, neither big nor small?  She just laughed and said maybe that means you have just enough.
