One of my neighbors had a Gunnera.  It looks Jurassic, which I like.  Another had a hardy banana, which also looked like it should be harboring a Brachiosaurus.

Dallas-  Is that your Mexican petunia growing so nicely?  I planted some a few years ago, and it isn't doing too well.  It looks healthy and flowers, but just never spread.  I'm guessing it doesn't get enough sun where it is.

The black bamboo is gorgeous.  They sell it at our local botanical garden (they have a bamboo sale every year).  I'll have to check it out and make sure it's a clumping variety.

I'm really enjoying all of your photos.

PlantFiles: Wild Petunia, Ruellia humilis

Daven's Garden has a helpful "Pro" and "Con" section for each plant.

I would love to read about those topics you mention Sentient about the chickens (wasn't I a member?  ....I think I remember that group) and homesteading too.

Pretty flower Dallas .. I have a field guide to plants that I could look that up. I just need to locate it. In my plant class we would key out the plants to determine the name. That was a task!

Eintob, there is no homesteading group - I do think discussions on that topic would be good in this group too.  I once tried to start a chicken raising group but there were only about 3 people on nexus at the time who were interested.  So there are some chicken discussions here.  I'll comment on one to bring it forward.

Dallas I don't know WHAT that flower is, but it's very pretty.  Really nice.

I knew I didn't find an exact match - but I was hoping that the ruellia I posted would get you on the right track. And yep - the humilis looks like it.

I've started looking for it in Flora - this may take awhile.

It's neither vinca or 4 o'clock

Dallas Gaytheist- are they a type of four o'clock flowers?  I know there are several varieties.
