Deborah~Got mine at a big box store for about $4.00. It looks dead from time to time, but always seems to bounce back.

I keep looking at that euphorbia, I should say, lusting after it…. I think I need it.

James~Yes, that’s it! I knew I would know it if I heard it. Funny, how things we baby along become weeds for you.

Ricki, I think that mystery plant is Solanum pyracanthum. I grew one ca. 15 years ago and I still get seedlings from the parent plant showing themselves around the garden. Persistent, just like their tomato cousins. Some plants I just wish they wouldn’t flower because the flowers just spoil the effect of the foliage. I like you leaf collection!

Ricki R. sinagrande is going on my list. I’ve got one rhodie on steroids already–kind of like your second one mentioned but I need more leaves in my garden, darn it.

I think that is a spiky Solanum of some kind.

Love all your leaves.

Linda~The Rhody Society has two big sales in the spring at Crystal Springs. One is always on Mothers Day, making it easy to remember. The other sale is a bit earlier. They always have an interesting selection, and experts on hand, ready to talk and advise.

I seem to remember getting the spiky tomato from Windy Hills Nursery. It is an annual, but I bring it in to overwinter.
