| I was given many cuttings of plants from a friend's garden and she didn't know the names of some of them. Can you identify these so I can learn about how to take care of them or know if they are invasive types I don't want to grow. Thank you for your help. I hope the photos load.

| It may be Ruellia elegans, but it is hard to tell since the picture is small. Kristi |

| Kristi, You definitely got it right! Also know as Brazilian petunia though not actually a petunia. I looked it up and there is no doubt. I was thinking is was a mint relative with its square stem. It doesn't sound like it is invasive like the mexican petunia Thanks a bunch. |
