Please, do ID your fragrant weed. The reason I asked is the one I linked has almost a citruslike fragrance.

My H. sabdariffa is a different one but I am not growing it this year. If you are interested in information on it, I saved a good bit in my journal, including a recipe or two. http://davesgarden.com/community/journals/viewentry/148684/ I sampled it but was unable to harvest seed as something devoured the seed pods before they ripened. Intended to try some in ground but never got one of those "round tuits". I never overwintered mine and just assumed it to be an annual?

There you go, we have covered cacti, weeds and pretty blooms...
