Well.........if you miss the raccoons, I could drop off a few for you! Do you have the pink or purple ruellia? When we first put in the little courtyard fountain, I wanted plants for it. Someone gave me the purple ruellia. It multiplied really quickly. I'd go out and throw it over the courtyard wall to pick up later. Sometimes I'd forget to pick it up. The next year the entire side bed was almost all that stuff. I'm still yanking it out. The pink one isn't as bad at spreading.
