The Garden





Wild Petunia from Ecuador, this is 1 of 2 strains that all our F-1 Hybrids were born from folks, these plants are Not compact and tend to sprawl out, flowers can charge color also they can go from purple to a bluish then pinkish then white I have had all colors on the plant at the same time quite interesting.

This beautiful Tobacco is some test seed I received from the Uof M to trial although I am not one normally into F-1 Hybrids I must say the color is quite impressive, however it lacks the aroma of open pollinated varieties especially the sacred Alata I grow.

Toothache plant- the leaves used to numb the mouth as well as a mouthwash /antiseptic in the tropics of the Americas (Large Leaf on right from Naranjillia an Incan fruit similar to cape gooseberry and groundcherry from solanaceae)

Lulo an ancient Incan fruit quite similar to the tomato also from the Solanaceae unlike the tomato, this plant has spines as well as the fruit encased in a spiked husk.

King Tutt Purple Pod Pea, as legend has it, these were found in his tomb, some seeds were planted and the grew. What do YOU believe?
