DL, I'm in 7b also. I have the same thing going on here. I'm in north-west SC but I don't know where you are. Maybe you should add the state to your profile to get better answers? I'm normally picking okra in late June. It has been cooler and wetter here than normal. We normally have little to no rain and high 90's by mid June. We had almost no direct sun because of clouds and rain all of June and July. My plants, CS, are short but beautiful and late producing. They started last week, 4 or 5 a day, but I'm picking 20 + a day now from about 20 plants. They should pick up if you are getting sun shine.

It really is pretty and I don't know either but I've turned your url into this link to make it easier for everyone. Hope you find out, I'd love to know too. There's a "Name that plant" forum on GW too if you want to link them in to see it.

Except it isnt Lungwort. The leaf is thick and fleshy. There's a Hoya in the next pot and various viny bits in the background. Maybe tlbean will give us an answer. PS I, for one, don't mind quizzes. We can be quite a competitive bunch and I believe most of us enjoy a little challenge, especially in the slow season. If I can beat Embo I am chuffed ;-)

This one is covering so much real estate on the sides of the roads where I am, I don't think anyone feels the need to cultivate it to see a LOT of it. When there's a lot of it blooming, it does have a "wow" factor! AKA Glandularia pulchella: https://www.invasiveplantatlas.org/subject.html?sub=13162 You might have an easier time finding some form of 'Homestead' Verbena, a more commonly cultivated Verbena with similar flowers but more substantial foliage. Available in several different colors of blooms.
