Mine shrunk a lot last winter and looked dead until about May or April, at which point it basically doubled in size in a very short period of time. Is that normal?

If so might be worth giving a heads up to the topic starter since it's about that time of year. If not, then disregard this ;)

Your "I should have names this post Name this Yellow Flower!" flower is sideways. But it looks like a yellow loosestrife, Lysimachia punctata. Your "Perfect Yellow Flower" flower looks rather like an Inula sp. but I can't see the leaves to be sure. Your "I found this beautifull plant on Vancouver Island and in Community Gardens in Calgary, AB" flower looks like leopards bane, Doronicum orientale to me. Numbering your photos would help us to note which plant we are talking about. FataMorgana

I got them from my uncle. I have about fourteen clumps now...and about 100 plants total. This all grew in the last year or two. They REALLY like their location. I am thinking about trading out or maybe even selling? some of them. If not them I'm going to have to figure out how to control them!!!

B&B is a cultivar of salvia guarantica. This looks to be guarantica, but since the calixes "spelling?" aren't black, it is not Black & Blue. Cultivars usually can only be reproduced vegetatively from stem, root, or leaf cuttings. In the same way that every winesap apple can trace its roots back to a single tree, so Black & Blue traces back to a single plant with an odd mutation. I may have some of the nomenclature wrong, but that is the basic idea.

Clearly a Commelina, but it doesn't look like the Commelina communis that I've seen, those having longer, narrower leaves that are pointed at the tip, as well as generally being much larger plants than your pictures seem to indicate. A search on the USDA PLANTS Database also shows that Commelina communis isn't reported to occur in California. Only one species is reported in California, Commelina benghalensis, which is listed as a noxious weed by the state of California. So presumably that's what you have. I've linked a web page (from Hawaii) with information about that species, which has pictures showing that the leaf shape matches yours closely.

Tigers in Africa?

Seriously, why didn't they name it Croc Jaws or at least Gator Jaws. Green "Tiger" Jaws?

Thank you for the ID. When I bought it a month or so ago, it was shriveled but with a bit of water and sun it has done quite well.
I am glad to have the warning that it might shrink this winter, I would have worried that I was killing it.
