This is Kala Namak, or Himalayan black salt. It is an unrefined, volcanic rock salt (Halite) with a sulfur-like aroma, similar to the smell of hard-boiled eggs. This salt owes its unique taste – a hint of bitterness – to the presence of Sulphur.
We were given a small vial of it (the labeled bottle in the background) by a friend who vacationed in Spain (thus the Spanish spelling of the word Salt… Sal).

I enjoyed the shapes and shades of color on this begonia. It seemed even better displayed on black.
The former owners of our house planted 12 rhododendrons of various colors on the property. They grow very well in Oregon, the only place I have seen better ones is in Scotland at the Inverewe Gardens at Poolewe. This pinky-purple one is our favorite for its color and multiple bloom clusters. I like it in its natural setting but also showing off on black.
This is one bloom of many on this columbine that was in my vegetable garden for years. It was growing out of the rocky edge.
