One of my favorite fall displays - Privet Cassia (Senna ligustrina). Native Florida plant, host plant for Cloudless Sulphur and Orange-Barred Sulphur butterflies. Probably other Sulphurs, too, but those are the only ones I've ever found on it. I was checking them for caterpillars when a lady stopped and I ended up giving her seeds. Turns out, she's the lady who wanted a cutting of my Angel's Trumpet earlier this year! Dad talked to her that time. I'm always glad to share some seeds and this plant makes plenty! It's usually more upright but it's been raining and the seeds weigh it down, too.
