    Default Blc. Momilani Rainbow 'The Gypsy'

    I am such a sucker for splash petal catts...especially ones that smell like LifeSavers candy to me...

    I am nursing one to health somehow - after getting mine from some grower who rotted every single root on me. Grumps. But it's putting out new growth and roots and I'm EXCITED to grow flowers that look like this and smell like you say!!! :c) It's BEAUTIFUL!

    This is really a robust catt. You'll find it'll recovery fairly quickly for you, I think...

    Default Scent..

    Not really a particular flavor..just imagine smelling the outside of the wrapper of the entire roll..that's pretty close.

    Some people say they smell like Fruit Loops as well..
