Chocolate Flowers


The Chocolate Cosmos is a very rare flower. 
It is a flower native to Mexico that has been extinct in the wild for over 100 years.  
Still, the species survives as a single, non-fertile clone created in 1902 by propagation.  
The flowers are a rich deep-brown color and grow to about 3-4 cm in diameter.  
As the name suggests, Chocolate Cosmos emit a delicious vanillin fragrance in the summer (also found in vanilla beans, some coffee beans and some cocoa beans).  Yum, slurrp....


Chocolate Orchids, are a wonder of nature.
When you smell these orchids, you'll be hit by a wonderful chocolate scent floating up from dozens of tiny blossoms. 
"Sharry Baby" the oncidium orchid is spectacular in its festive splashes of chocolate and white. The flowers appear to be soft and delicate, but the petals actually have a firm, almost leathery feel to them. 
Flowers of these species are one of the sweetest fragrances you can smell.
 The Sharry Baby is also  one of the easiest orchids to grow. 
 Its spiky stems can reach up to 3 feet in height with multiple (up to a hundred) purple-red mini blooms. Its velvety long green leaves are the perfect frame to showcase its amazing sweet-scented flowers.
Just like chocolate, they can be very addictive....
