Thanks JD, for helping ~'spin!~ out with the answer! : - )
I noticed that the pods on these plants weren't ready yet, which is one reason why I want to go back and talk to the owner. I have some seed left from Dad's plant, but mine isn't even blooming yet (thanks to pup who chewed it almost to ground). Might take it awhile to get to the point where it seeds.
These in the photos above have been in the ground for a good five years or more. Dad told me not to water them until the leaves folded shut, then to deep water. I think that Dale is right about them being more compact in arid climates. flyboy will send me seeds from his plants in FL, if anyone is interested, just LMK.
~'spin!~ can you get a photo of that traffic stopper? I'd sure like to see it if you can.

Found this olympic swimmer in my pool yesterday. I was surprised he was an amputee? He was swimming quite strongly in a straight line, not in circles. After I took the photo below I released him under the banana. The owner of Wet Pets told me that the toad may grow back his foot? I don't know if he was born that way or got in an accident but I wish him a long life and a speedy recovery. Has anyone else observed or heard of toads regenerating limbs?
