Taken from one of my new lenses, 13 - 200 Canon lens.... Now have to try more close ups!

[bundycat]

yes SJ and my lady that supplies me with these yummy snacks told me to deep fry them (after peeling off the hard green cover on each seed or crush them into nam prik , or add to an omlette .. and and ...) and yes they are just like fresh crunchy peas..

She also told me they make you sleepy !!!

a bit like TP1 2nd flower datura... (if I am right) can also kill creatures..including us ! Don't tell the missus!!

[samuijimmy]

Correct about Datura, BC ^.... Also known as Angel's Trumpet...

So if you nod off while you are on Samui, I 'll know you've been nibble at lotus seeds!

OK we'll move on.... Thai Jasmine...

Mcfishman .. I like all your pics,..however, for me, the above seems a bit too "sharp" and coloured to my eye.. ?
