I had subconsciously noticed that it’s uncommon to see old serissa desire there being hundred of starters out there, but never really considered it until this thread.

The thing that always put me off them was the smell of the roots, but they do appear to have good points like the scale of the flowers.

Good luck recovering this one :tu:

Serissa foetida, 'foetida is latin for foul smelling.
I have seen plenty of starters but cannot remember ever seeing an old specimen
Q: Why are we all here?
A: Because we are not all there.
