My wife has acquired these plants with some second hand pots. There are 5 different plants here, the last two are the same, and smell very good. It reminds me of something possibly edible, and is very familiar.

Any ideas appreciated thanks :thumbup:

Cheers for the replies guys :thumbup: the 'mint' I thought was mint too, but it only has a faint odour which isn't even minty!

I'm surprised no one knows the last one, it's such a strong and familiar scent, even from just touching the leaves...

If we had smell-o-vision it would help:D

The first one is one of the 6 species of Carpobrotus. These are found along the Southern African coast and are excellent for stings or toxins from insects in general.

The last two are lemon verbena, Aloysia triphylla. I think the second may be Haplopappus glutinosus (no common name) which has yellow daisy-like flowers in late summer.
