In the porch we have a Mother-in-law tongue, an aloe plant, and a pot of coleus.
Outside we have a big pot of dwarf marigolds, three HUGE potted asparagus ferns, and a couple pots of hydrangeas.
Also a few red banana palms and a sago palm which pop back up each year. Lots of azaleas, gardenias, LOTS of confederate jasmine, elephant leaf and monkey grass.
Not all ours are ornamental though, we have a couple of cherry tomato plants, and pots of mint, sweet basil, and italian parsley.

Well, you've got us beat all to hell. We've tried a few exotic things, but i'm not as good with though. Since i'm not there everyday, they can go by the wayside. i couldn't even get my strawberries to grow! LOL!! Oh well, all i can do is try and hopefully i'll get lucky!
WOW, John! You've got a sharp eye! Petunias, yeah, but hell, i'd never even heard of "vincas" until last year when we said "oh, those look nice". LOL! Thanx!
Looking at the title of the post I was CERTAIN this was going to be a "secret" post about something horrible that happened while you were in Nursery School :)
In other news, though, the stuff looks fantastic! I love flowers and plants, though I have an inherited talent of killing most living things, be they of the plant or animal kingdom :x
Our stuff is mostly set-it-and-forget-it. i just make sure they get water and they're good for the whole season. i'll try to remember to take more pics as the season goes by.
