The uncommon, out of zone, et cetera type stuff.

In my case, Eucomis (Pineapple Lily), Peruvian Daffodil, Oleander and Snail vine - Vigna caracalla. None of which are hardy here.

My "wildest" are in the form of wild surprises. I am new to the gardening scene and have just completed the course work to become a Master Gardener. In one of our classes I was give a few garlic cloves to plant and a start of a Jerusalem Artichoke. I nurtured both in pots through the winter and planted in my newly constructed raised beds this spring. To my surprise as I anxiously awaited the first garlic bloom I was greeted by a most unusual day lily!!!!! As the Jerusalem Artichoke grew and grew I kept googling pictures and my plant was far from the pictures I was seeing. All to find out I had just grown one way large turnip and had greens for all!!!! So, needless to say my learning curve is straight up but I have enjoyed my first bountiful harvest of herbs, flowers and summer veggies. I look forward to learning from all!

Wildest, well not really wild but more like Leslie, a wild surprise. The yellow oriental lilies that just suddenly showed up in my yard one year (about three years ago) and have multiplied like crazy. Now I have about 20 or more of them and love them!

@riverfarms I also Welcome! you. And you live in Millbrook! I'm a native Montgomerian who is enjoying the country life in Lowndes county.

David hmmm. Well these aren't blooming yet but they are "never tried" plants. I have gotten some new tropicals, passifloras and castor bean plants. The castor plant, all I can say is wow when it started growing...
😵 I'm glad I placed it in the back of the bed.
