The Sweet Shrub, also known as Carolina Allspice, Bubby Bush and Strawberry Bush, is native to the Appalachian stream banks of the Smokies. The scent is described as a blend of strawberry, cantaloupe, spiced apple and burgundy wine. Women used to place the flowers in their bodices as a perfume, hence the name "Bubby Blossom".</span></div><span style="color:#ffffff;"><br /><br /><br /></span><br /><span style="color:#ffffff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffffff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221165450268301250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4KK7UH4hF2c/SHVOUGjI18I/AAAAAAAAAEU/P5Lw-TDZD6Q/s320/Heart+and+Soul.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /></span><br /><span style="color:#ffffff;"></span><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Katrina also entered "Morning Repose" starring one of the family "babies", Garfield, who has lived up to his name and loves lasagna.
