Hoja Santa AKA Root Beer Plant July 20, 2021

 I love plants with big leaves.  I love Mexicali Rose, Bears Breeches, Grecian Plant and of course Hoja Santa.  The leaves have a strong root beer smell hence its nickname.  I had it growing in the moist shady part of the Star Garden, and it became a real pest.  But in this spot in the Medicine Garden  (Hoja Santa is an herb.  It is edible.) it is much more mannerly because it is drier.  The leaves are heart shaped.  The white "flowers" that come up in the indentation of the heart are so interesting-looking.
