Melissa on Aug 11, 2013The third one looks a lot like my Mexican petunia (grows tall, 3'-4', with nice blue-purple blooms) and the sixth one might be lantana (orange-yellow-red blooms).Helpful Reply

Jean DeSavage on Aug 15, 2013In #7 the green plant looks like a weed that I get in my garden. It spreads it's "legs" quickly and becomes a pain to get up. I'd like to know what the purple plant in the background is?Helpful Reply

Anne Breen on Sep 11, 2013I call the purple perennial plant in #7 "Wandering Jew" it has tiny pink flowers. Here in Tucson AZ it dies back to the ground after a winter freeze, will grow in full summer sun and also tolerates shade. It will easily adapt to its environment and stem cuttings root easily in moist soil, once established it can even tolerate drought. GBYAY Anne BreenHelpful Reply

S on Jan 22, 2014The third one appears to be a butterfly weed, Asclepias. Probably pink in color as that varieties leaves are narrower. A very drought tolerant, later summer blooming, perennial. The fourth and fifth I would guess as a Balsam.Helpful Reply

Susie on Jan 22, 2014purple plant in #7 is actually Setcresea pallida or purpurea (I have also seen it labelled as Tradescantia pal.)I was told by a local botanist that it was setcresea so that is what I am sticking with :-) - Mexican Hearts and Flowers or Purple Heart. I beat mine back to ground level every 2-3 years so it comes back nice and thick.Helpful Reply
