Here are some things growing in the yard around my house. Some of them were here before, most were planted by me...
Crepe Myrtle, I would have picked a lilac variety, but this will do. The new buds are lovely...
Mexican Sage. A prolific perennial, I have it in several spots. I love the lavender flowers.
Bleeding Heart-via the south. This is different than the Bleeding Heart that grows most other places. This vines up my front porch and receives constant comments.
Lovely tomatoes. I believe these are the Roma grapes. Grow like the grapes, but bigger than the tiny ones. Good thing I planted these, huh?
Gee, can't remember the name, but believe it is a butterfly bush of some sort. Moved it around and found the perfect spot, it has shot up to almost 5 feet tall this year! Update: It's called Fire Bush- thanks Jen! Fire Bush, ha ha ha. A little late for that.

Yes! That's it! I knew it had something to do with butterflies- it attracts them! I'm so excited that the birds like to eat it's berries also. I haven't seen it with berries yet. And I think it's conditions may be "ideal" I'd better keep it in check lest it reaches it's full 15' height! Thanks for the link! Fire bush, cool!
