Thank you all so much, figures they are all poisonous. Except maybe the Ruellia. was looking for some tortoise food.. Some people do feed Morning Glory but it could be harmful so I'll stay away...

Hmm, I would guess the middle one is Double Delight--does it have a strong and sweet frangrance? If not, I'm wrong, because Double Delight does. The last one I'm almost certain is Careless Love, as the petals with the large pale pink areas are very common with Careless Love as it trys to revert to Mrs. Charles Bell. Careless Love here goes from bud to fully blown to petals dropping in about a day, so if it stays on the bush for a long time it probably isn't Careless Love, though it sure looks it.

Funny thing is this garden (on a slope in my front yard) used to be a shade garden - a large tree (mullberry) shaded it effectively. A couple of years ago that tree came down so now its mostly sun. I had planted a bunch of shade loving plants there - things like hostas, ferns, etc. Now those plants have exploded in size, though I have to be careful in making sure things are well watered. These pulmonarias are spreading pretty quickly now, on some level I have to keep an eye on them so they don't invade other spots so much. Thanks for input! Bob

I plan on getting in trouble there. Plant swaps sound fun. The last swap I went to I bought some Sans from Ed Eby's son in 6 in pots for $1 each! They were some really nice plants. I like systemics also. I used to do things like fish emulsion, rubbing alcohol, and whatnot but still had bugs months later. I finally gave into Bayer and bought a big bottle of 3 in 1 and haven't had much trouble with anything except the occasional spider mite on my brugmansia. I'll have to find something potent for them soon. 3 in 1 doesn't work as a miticide. When a plant comes in the door it gets treated just as precaution so I don't usually have bugs on anything but my herbs.
