Hey Jay, It's as if by magic the Ruellia ???? are in bloom and I've taken some more pics for you and Terri. I swear, I think I'm going to have to get a botanist out here and ID them for me in order for me to have some piece of mind. I might have to send you a plane ticket and have you ID them.
So, for what it's worth, here are some more pics.
Giant yellow Velvetleaf ( Wissadula amplissima )
It was in flower 2-3 days ago. I see from my butterfly book that it's the larval host of
some of our Skippers.
