Well that was a big enough hint.

Well 24 hours have passed and no one has tried to name your plant.
Can I say SNAP?
We saw this in Aswan, ten years ago, on either the 11th or 12th of April

When I first heard its common name mentioned I thought they were talking about a gas.

Exactly, Alice. I'd never heard of Argan Oil until a few months ago when I caught mention of it on a documentary while channel flipping on the TV. I misheard it at first and thought they had said Argon. It was great to actually meet it in person last month on the Morocco trip.

I should have got that one as I had read all about the Argan tree and Morocco several years ago.
Morocco is still on our list!

Keep a look out, Hilary, the Morocco trip may be repeated next year. If it is I can thoroughly recommend it.
