Agalinis fasciculata - wild foxglove 2. Dyschoriste spp. - twinflower 3. Ruellia caroliniana - wild petunia 4. Ruellia succulenta - thickleaf wild petunia 5. Verbena hastata - blue vervain 6. Orthocarpus spp. - owl's clover 7. Plantago - plantain 8. Mimulus - monkey flower Finally found the labels. The plant that hosted 3 cats is called: Sun Chimes TM Lavender diascia x hybrida, I had pink and red. Grows in partial shade and I had it topped off with purple potato vine - how did they find it still puzzles me as you can barely see it there. They ate diascia but I found crysalis on the bottom of potato vine leaves. And another plant that hosted 1 cat (but I can't find her) - Angelonia "serena series" grows in full sun. Hope this helps and good luck!! (attaching my new baby who areed to sit on my hand for a few minutes before leaving...ahhh..) Hope this info is helpful. |
