Thank you! The pictures are from my cousin Terry's garden. Terry died unexpectedly last fall, and her friends have been helping her husband take care of it. I posted more pictures of Terry's garden in the Gallery. It was featured on a garden tour last week. Susan Here is a link that might be useful: Terry's garden in the Gallery

Thanks Tom, You are correct about the little white flowers. I hadn't noticed them but after seeing you post i went outside and their they are. Just knowing it is a weed and not something that will eventually be productive solves my problem. Kenny

Compare this to Clitoria mariana.

It looks like a Bromeliad; maybe Bilbergia Nutans. Most people grow them in pots but since it's epiphytic, you could put some in the fork of a tree and see how it does. They are pretty cold hardy. There is a large specimen growing here in Lake Charles, LA in the fork of a live oak tree. They can take some light frost or maybe down to 30. Low 20's kill them. Steve
