The Lemon Myrtle occurs naturally throughout coastal Qld rainforests. It is a spectacular ornamental tree due to both its appearance and the superb fragrance of its flowers and leaves. The leaves and flowers are used in sweet and savoury dishes or as a refreshing tea. However as boiling or baking often reduces the flavour.

Enthusiasts describe the distilled oil from this tree as 'more lemony than lemon' and its used extensively to scent confectionery, perfumes, aromatherapy oil and food flavourings.

Lemon Verbena

Our Lemon Verbena has settled in happily into its large pot. I read that they may not flower when grown in pots but this plant is. I enjoy the scent it gives off when a leaf is crushed. It looks lovely too.

Lemon Verbena

The idea that i can use it for lemon zest especially when I don't have lemons from my lemon tree or the supermarket appeals to me. Also it is a very nice looking plant and my wife likes the flowers which have just started to come on.
