How odd.

The closest I get to potpourri or other decorative scents is using mint spray to kill ants and roaches.... That sounds more disgusting that it needs to, but you get the idea: I've never worked with rock potpourri.

Sounds like it's activated by water, and you've got more humidity .... that doesn't sound right. More humid in CO than KS? I don't know. Sounds like those cool growing crystals they sell in kids' science kits.

I'm sure, if it all goes wrong, the Rocky Mountain News will be sure to blame it on us liberals....

Just keep your alien spores on
THAT side of the freeway, Missy. We can't afford any more home renovations than we already have.

Pictures! We want pictures!!

I don't normally go in much for smelly stuff myself (I find I get tired of the aromas quickly), Jonathan, so this was something of an impulse buy.

Whatever it is, the growing stopped and when I cleaned the metal saucer, it didn't seem damaged. I don't think I'll try adding water again. (I'm not sure why that guy had water in his and, now that I think about it, the rocks could well have been sitting in a pool of aromatic oil or something.)

I'll keep my germs to myself, Meg. But if it turns out to be the key to eternal youth, you're going to be sorry! :)

Dail, I posted them for you.
