In case you are wondering WHAT in the world that crazy plant is ...... it's some large variety of purple porterweed. Normally it is cut way back, but this Fall I decided to just let the garden have it's last hurrah before winter. So yes, it looks WILD! But the porterweed and my lantana are the 2 biggest draws for butterflies, bees, and dragonflies of all the plants in my yard. I love my porterweed, but it scares my husband. He thinks it will attack him some day when he is walking by it and will never be seen again! lol
