| Arundo Species Arundo donax This is a devil plant if care isn't taken in your selection of site to plant in. It forms a very dense mat of roots that is near impossible to get rid of unless you have a bulldozer. But if you have a remote area where you want your own jungle or good erosion control or a steady supply of canes for crafts, this plant might work for you. I can dig root sections year-round. | Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (texasflora_com) |

Capsicum annuum var. aviculare I've had this plant growing wild for 20 years. I've seen plants get over 4 feet tall in a season. The tops die back in the winter but new stems and new leaves on lower older stems emerge sometime in March. They transplant well. Just dig up the root, cut off all the upper growth and plant and keep watered. New growth will appear in about 2 weeks. The peppers usually don't turn red until about October. In drought, the plants wilt and should be watered. But if you completely ignore them, the plants still survive. Some of my plants are even growing in very deep shade (volunteers from seed) under cedar trees and they still make fruit. The plants are much thinner though. And yes, the peppers are very hot but are way down the list of the hottest peppers. The picture is of one of my plants taken on Nov 25, 2009 that I transplanted in March 2009. I have a limited supply of seeds from 2009's crop. I only used the ripened red peppers for seeds. Will trade for other capsicum annuum species. | 'Chiltepin' | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
| Ipheion Species Ipheion uniflorum This beautiful flower will naturalize over large shady areas. I transplanted many of these plants in spring 2009. I planted whole clumps and didn't separate the bulbs. This fall (still 2009), they quickly leafed out fully and I expect lots of flowers next spring. No matter where you live, when planting these bulbs, just keep them watered if necessary and they'll send up leaves as soon as they're ready. The leaves and clumps look much like liriope except are much lighter in color. I'll be observing them this winter to see if the leaves stay green or get bit by low temps. We have fairly mild winters but do have the occasional ice storms and prolonged weather in the low 20s. NOTE: As far as trading or shipping these bulbs in very cold weather, they will freeze and turn to mush in transit. | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |
