Pod, I have put in a request on the identification forum. Hopefully someone there will give us an idea. If you'd like some of it, I'll be happy to send you some. I don't remember where I got this plant. I know I've had it for a couple of years. I don't think it goes to seed, but if I remember right, when the flowers are spent, they look kind of wispy like a dandelion. If that's the seeds, I'll save some. I'm so new to looking for seeds on any of my plants. This vine doesn't die back at all.

Those French Hollyhocks are beautiful Pod. Are they butterfly plants, by chance? I'm gearing towards LOTS of butterfly plants this year. Lots of folks have sent me seeds for a big variety of flowers for them. When I know that I won't have to be worried about a freeze sneaking up on me, I'll be planting those seeds.

Your Gasteraloe is really pretty. It looks like a cross between an aloe and a bromeliad.

Thanks Vossner for ID'ing my Amaryllis. I've really enjoyed that one and hope that it puts out those beautiful blooms again for me this year.

Connie, I love that peacock fern. I hope it gets those blue iridescent leaves like your other one had.

It's late now, but I'll post this pic of Jacobina before I go to bed. I love this plant and it really made me smile when it bloomed this year. This was the ONE plant that I thought I'd lost when hurricane Rita blew through my back yard. Everything else got beat up, but survived. I had piled as many plants in containers close to my back fence thinking that the fence would break any wind force. I had NO IDEA that we'd get as much wind as we did... 123 mph according to the news.

I couldn't FIND the Jacobina at first because it was sitting close to my bleeding heart plant and I kept on thinking that the Jacobina was the Bleeding Heart because the leaves looked similar to me. Then one day I started seeing the buds come up on it. I was dancing all over the back yard! This past year, I went to a garage sale and a lady had them growing in the ground close to her fence. They were at LEAST 5 ft. tall! Mine isn't all that tall, but I'm just as proud of it, as though it were. :-)
