Jewels of Opar, Fame Flower (Talinum paniculatum) is a semisucculant, EDIBLE, tender perennial that does best in Georgia as an "expected" annual as its seeds go far & wide. It can grow to 3ft with a very firm, wide base of thick, lush & leathery leaves, a spike atop which blooms an array of beautifully dancing single pink blossoms. These then set seed which mature into a bright yellow ball making a delightful contrast with the remaining flowers. If you wish to control where it grows next year, be sure to deadhead or cut the stalk and use in your floral displays. It is pleasantly edible & supposedly quite good for one's health. Apparently new research is showing it to have anti inflammatory properties as well anti oxidants.

Most familiar in their green stage, Jalapeños are hottest and fully ripe when they turn red. The stocky 2 foot tall plants will not fall over or break branches even with a heavy load of fruit. The short, 2-3 inch peppers are thick-walled and juicy. Use these peppers fresh, pickled, or in sauces. Open-pollinated Early Jalapeño will set fruit under cooler conditions than other Jalapeño varieties. Peppers are ready to pick when dark green, delivering a wallop of pure heat. And if you want to keep pesky bugs out of the garden, edge it with Jalapeno plants. The hot fruit is a good deterrent to many destructive pests.

Is this a Tradescantia or a Setcreasea? Controversy remains regarding the correct scientific name for this plant. Some authorities continue to refer to it as Setcreasea pallida or Setcreasea purpurea. The comparatively more recent denomination, Tradescantia pallida, has seen wider use of late. We are arbitrarily continuing to refer to the plant as Setcreasea, also known as Purple Heart and other common names. Widely used as an ornamental in garden borders, as a ground cover, in hanging baskets, Setcreasea can be quite shade-tolerant and can thrive in a wide range of soils. Outside in our area, Setcreasea generally dies back in the winter and returns in the spring for a long season of purple leaves and pink flowers until the fall frost. On occasion, a particularly wet or cold winter might promote the demise of the plant, so consider taking a cutting and growing this versatile and pleasingly colorful plant indoors. Optimal leaf color is achieved in bright sunlight. Cut back stems with spent flowers. Let the soil dry thoroughly between waterings as Setcreasea is quite drought tolerant. As a houseplant, this Setcreasea has been judged to be exceptionally effective in improving indoor air quality by filtering out volatile organic compounds, a class of common pollutants and respiratory irritants.

Syngonium is a genus of plant in the Araceae family (which includes Philodendron, Pothos, Spathiphyllum [Peace Lily], etc.). Popular for more than a hundred years, Syngonium has withstood the test of time because it is both attractive and easy to grow.  It is an excellent houseplant for low light conditions.Young Syngonium plants are bushy and usually fairly full, making them attractive indoor plant choices for coffee tables, side tables, and other surfaces. As the plants grow and mature, they develop a climbing habit, making them fun to grow up trellises or other structures. But worry not: Syngonium can readily be pruned to maintain bushiness. Simply pinch out new growth to encourage the plant to stay bushy.  Avoid overwatering. Water thoroughly after the soil has dried throughout. Note that Arrowhead goes by a variety of names, including Syngonium and Nephthytis. Neither are recommended for consumption by humans or other non-human animals.
