The picture is kind of blurry, but it looks like a Gaillardia (blanketflower) to me, perhaps Gaillardia pulchella. They're pretty good at self-seeding and grow in the wild in some areas, so it's not surprising to have it grow in places that it wasn't planted. Here is a link that might be useful: Wikidpedia bit on Gaillardia pulchella

Thanks Carol, sea myrtle sounds cool; think I'll keep it around. I found some packages of Ball freezer boxes awhile back in a thrift store; so I've been blanching and freezing green mixtures for a bit now. Need to do some more this week. I put greens in just about everything. Later this week I'm going to make a crockpot lasagna where I use layered green in lieu of pasta for the lower layers. I will let you all know how it turns out. I'm am so pleased to be having tomatoes getting ripe. Starting tomato seed in November turned out to be one of my better bright ideas. It was just a few pots so carrying them in and out wasn't too much. Having early tomatoes now is so worth it. The fountain is so nice, can't wait to get all finished around it. Hopefully today I will bring home a few small pond fish. I moved some of the bright lites chard over near the fountain. It was going anyway from being in full sun; so it will be interesting to see if it stays perennial in the dappled sun. And for now, it brings some color to the area. I've also got some Florida Variegated Collards that I'm going to plant over here and see how they do. They are also suppose to be perennial. Not that I think they would taste all that good in August. Thanks for the compliments everybody .... blush ~dianne

Thank you for answering! :) However it seems that the watermelon peperomia has lighter leaves and darker veins - the opposite of what our plants have here. But I think I finally found the right peperomia! It seems that our mystery plant is Peperomia maculosa. They definitely have darker green leaves with lighter veins, and the shape looks about right too. :)
