Lime Green Coleous |
Have Ornamentals |
I've had this plant, which grew as a volunteer, since maybe three years ago. It is in practically full shade and has gone through at least three Florida winters in zone 9. As it is in the "wrong" place because its my walk way I manage to walk by it and always take pictures of it. | |

Golden Dew Drop (Duranta erecta 'Alba') |
Have Shrubs Ornamentals |
This plant is very aggressive and persistent. I have two of these and one is growing right next to a big firebush and it is standing its ground and wants its space. The other one is a cutting I took and was in a container for months on end and finally it is in the ground and doing well. | |

Plumeria (Plumeria rubra 'Star White') |
Have Shrubs Ornamentals |
I have had this frangipani for a long time. It is growing in morning sun but I am sure it could do good or even a bit better if it had more sun. I am going to try a new location where it gets just a bit more sun. |
