Citronella On The Porch

One of only 2 plants I've purchased this season (waiting to see how bad the cicadas will be) Thanks for stopping by

Cool half and half shot.

Love that quote and citronella works wonders ;-)

We have citronella in candles to keep away bugs, how effective will the actual plant be against cicadas?!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Hope you didn't LEAF it there on the porch. FAV from me.

[Bep]

Nice half and half.

[Mags]

I love the simplicity of this photo and the shape of the leaf!

@wakelys I don't notice a fragrance at all - They do grow easily - my last one needed re-potting almost immediately!

[Lin]

@ladymagpie LOL - thanks for the laugh

[Lin]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I don't think anything keeps the cicadas away! Really dreading it!!!

[Peggy Sirk]

This should help keep mosquitos away. I'd rather deal with cicadas than mosquitos! Although I'm not looking forward to the arrival of either. ☺

[Brigette]

when i first read this I was thinking Cilantro!! a little different! nice perspective

[CAT Carter19]

Nicely composed - a lot of people worried about those cicadas - what a crazy phenomenon!

I didn't realize citronella was a plant. I assumed that it was some kind of chemical concoction that people put in candles. It has a very pretty leaf. Neat photo.

[Lou Ann]

Well it’s a pretty plant, I love the leaf’s design.

[LManning (Laura)]

Very pretty details

[Kat]

Nice half and half, I have never seen a real citronella plant, interesting leaves.

[KV]

Lovely detail.

[GaryW]

Hope it keeps the mosquitoes away!
