Tibouchina, perhaps urvilleana, but maybe a smaller-leafed species? This post was edited by dave_in_nova on Thu, Oct 16, 14 at 10:03

Thank you! Photo grid works like a charm. Opening despite the rain. Abraham Darby. To this day he remains my favorite David Austin rose. Smells divine. My yellow Angel trumpet. Honestly I didn't really take any pictures if the first flush. This one has one of my favorite scents at night. My pink Angel trumpet. Poor thing. It was neglected for 5 years. And two years ago there was a spider mite infestation that further destroyed it. I couldn't get rid of them. They left. It started to recover. Finally. Then my tree fell on it. And now it's got spider mites again. The spider mites that only ever appear on that angel trumpet. And finally rose germanium. Fragrant foliage, and cute flowers.

While it might be naturalized, I wouldn't assume it's a native. That being said, maybe a nicotiana of some kind? They're marginally hardy for me here and also tend to reseed. Here is a link that might be useful: Nicotiana sylvestris

I did notice that my Violet’s Pride had some blackspot the first spring after planting it in a large pot,(as you can see at the beginning of this thread). I never had a problem with that again, but that was also the spring CA had a record rainfall. I can see that Violet’s Pride might be a bit susceptible to blackspot, since I didn’t see that on any of my other roses. Since the spring of 2017, we’ve been extremely dry here. VP never showed blackspot again, but we really don’t normally get blackspot here. I recieved a second Violet’s Pride in my Spring Hill “Rainbow of Roses” collection. I planted that one in the ground. I gave the potted one away. It’s doing fine in hot Bakersfield, CA. The one in the ground blooms quite a bit, even in the heat of summer. Abraham Darby has become intwined with her. Although she’s pretty, she’s not really a favorite. Sometimes the color can be a bit blah in the real heat. I’m grateful she hasn’t tried to take over more than her allotted space, as many roses in my garden tend to do. A fine rose, but she never turned out to be one of my big favorites. I have 3 full grown lavender roses, Violet’s Pride, Love Song, and Poseidon. I like the other two quite a bit more than Violet’s Pride. I just like their blooms and colors more than Violet’s Pride, but that’s just my preference. She’s given me no trouble. She just finished up a flush, but I think I see one peeking out from a piece of Abraham Darby. It’s just barely getting light outside, so I’ll see if I can get a picture. She definitely looks washed out to me at this time of year. Compaired to Love Song this morning. And to Poseidon this morning. Lisa
