What is controversial about it? It's not something one could survive on--you'd spend all your time grubbing through the dirt to find the underground seeds. They're a bit smaller than an average pea and look like a big fat lentil with a dark brown skin. Boiled, they aren't bad tasting. The flavor most resembles a chick pea to me. I've never tried the above ground seeds; they are quite little. If you are interested, I could go out and look to see what I can find before they sprout in the Spring or wait until they begin to sprout and dig up some seedlings.

Rina, your Orgyalis is so pretty..Vivid orange. Your Kalanchoe must have been in full/direct sun. Mine has orange foliage but not as orange as yours. Okay, went outside..The perennial, whatever it may be has no fragrance..Leaf texture is rough, protrudes. Thankfully, no problems touching Kalanchoes. If so, I'd be in trouble. Have quite a few 'indoor' Kalanchoes. I also rubbed my finger and thumb over the Sage..It's VERY fragrant. Was going to mention, but didn't think it important at the time..probably isn't now either.lol. Actually, I bought two perennials at HD w/tags reading Euphorbia. The second had different colors. Unfortunately, it didn't make it through winter. Your E. Helena's Bush is gorgeous! Is it hardy? Your Sage looks similar to mine, only a LOT larger.. Height and leaf size. Is it planted in medium or full sun? It's supposed to grow tall, but for some reason, doesn't. This is the first year it's reached 8"..lol. Supposed to be 2-4' or taller. I think 104F summers halt growth too. Your plants look terrific. Toni

Great thread, thanks for starting this. For me it's Pitcairnia feliciana. To be frank I'm not crazy about its look, but it's the one bromeliad that escaped North/Central/South America and put down roots in Africa (with a little help from migratory birds). I imagine getting a hold of one is next to impossible because of the recent outbreak, but who knows, maybe there are some established specimens elsewhere.
