That's something I miss about living in a warmer climate. I didn't have iguanas, but the little chameleons and tree frogs were everywhere and they're just adorable. You live in such an ideal climate for all these tropicals we struggle with up north. While we're freezing you'll be sure to post more beautiful photos of your green growing things to encourage us?

the leaves are very sticky, had yellow flowers that turned into the green tear shaped pods (if you look close at the picture) and never produced anything.

I see why it's one of your favorite corners Jackie, thats a splendid hiding place from the pressures of the world. I would sew a rose camoflage dress and disappear there quite often.

Glad we could help tumblingcove! To be perfectly honest, I didn't know there was an eastern counterpart to devil's claw either, Mara. When I first saw the picture I said "those flowers ARE devil's claw, I know it!" But your right, the location was wrong. But that doesn't mean they couldn't have found their way to Virginia through some human intervention. But I decided to do a little research and then it came up! Leaves were a match, too so viola!
