I've just heard, in another group, from an occasional visitor to u.r.g.
that friends of hers have a curry leaf tree flourishing in Ventnor. I do
mean "curry leaf", _Murraya koenigii_, not the so-called "curry plant",
_Helichrysum angustifolium_. She reports that the smell is gorgeous.

The subject arose in an (off-topic) discussion of herbs when I mentioned
that I thought it was too tropical to grow here. As usual, I spoke too
soon; but I doubt if it would do in less favoured spots.

I didn't actually say it was my friend's, but that it was growing near her
house.

The smell, though, is definitely gorgeous.

Been there - had a whiff.
Couldn't smell anything else after that.
