I don't know how I feel about newspaper for toilet paper, we grow a special bush which has very soft and fuzzy leaves just for the moments when the t.p. runs out.

      We use Tibouchna urvilleana here on our farm. We are in tropical South America.

      Awesome! I obviously have never heard of the plant before. I know of only two plants here in the United States with a nice and soft hairy texture often used as toilet paper. Always cool to know new plants. Thanks for sharing.
