Chocolate Cosmos

cosmos.jpg A chocloate cosmos plant, it actually smells like chocolate would you believe. I bought a couple of them a few weeks back and whilst most things in the garden wilt and die, these two boyos are blooming.
There's a slightly loose connection to Willy Wonka and the Chocolte Factory which I saw yesterday, nostalgic is how I would describe it, all the bits I remember as a kid are in this one. The characters are great Veruca Salt and Augustus Gloop are fantastic. Charlie and his relationship with his family seems a little more prevelant than I remember as a kid, or maybe the meaning was lost the first time. I remember being impressed by the selection of sweets and cholcoate in the first one, I came away from this one thinking about the importance of family.
