Very fun to watch this edible herb growing all winter long. And eating it, too! 🙂

When I say some of my growing vessels are tiny, I’m not kidding. This little clay pot is approximately 2 inches deep and 2.5 inches across.
I imagine one day that the cuban oregano growing inside will tip it over. But not yet.

It is a gift that keeps giving. The herb with one hundred names. Oregano on steroids. My friend simply introduced it as cuban oregano when he handed me the little pot several years ago.
It is a hardy succulent that smells wonderful when you rake your finger gently across a leaf. And even if you aren’t gentle, and a piece falls to the soil, no problem. It roots quite easily. From my one pot, I now have several pots of oregano. Please keep in mind that some of these “pots” are the size of demitasse cups but … they are still wonderful, edible, bits of green to tuck in sunlit places.
P.S. You can view some green images in this previous post. 😉

Actually a single leaf of cuban oregano resting upon blue sea glass. After the mini-photo shoot, the leaf made its way into some soup and the rock returned to a bowl in the hallway to rest with a few other rocks of many hues.

The Beauty of Simple Gifts
Posted in Branches, Kitchen Inspirations, Nature Notes, tagged cuban oregano, gifts, herbs, Photography, photos, pictures, plants on July 25, 2011| 2 Comments »
Today I am reminded of the beauty of small gifts. A while ago a friend gave me a small potted plant of cuban oregano. I’ve been rushing around lately so while I usually remember to water the herb — thank goodness, it is a succulent — I hadn’t really paid attention to the little patch of expanding greenery. But this morning, feeling a little pokey and thus moving slower, I leaned over and pressed my nose close. And what did I discover? The sweetest scent, of course, one that brought a smile to my face…and immediately brightened my day. 😉
