This one is a hibiscus, new arrival in 2002. It takes a place in the lawn circle that has been the death of two butterfly bushes and last year a sego palm. The butterfly bush in the circle eight feet away has been thriving for going on six years. Go figure.

This is a purple wave petunia surrounded by lantana in the early spring. They are some of a dozen of each in the bed by the front walk.  By July the bed will be a solid mass.
