Popcorn Cassia

Neighbor Rhonda has something new in her garden! These are showy and the spikes are about 1 foot tall, with the whole plants growing to 8 to 10 feet. Native to Africa and it's said if you rub the leaves they smell like popcorn. Some say they smell like wet dog. I've got to go back and rub the leaves and give my verdict.

 

The verdict is in. I crushed some leaves and sniffed and it smells like burnt toast to me.
