    Thank you for the information presented in this video. I looked up Liriope in the UF/IFAS website and it says UF/IFAS no longer recommends using this plant due to its high invasion risk

    There is a rare white flowered form Erythrina herbacea ,that might be worthy of cultivation.

    Great information but next time it would be good to feature the guest speaker so audience can see the plants she presents….

    Does anyone in Florida propagate the native "Tar Flower" shrub Bejaria racemosa ?
