  6. I love Perilla. Dark foliage that grows just about anywhere and easy to pull out if it travels to locations out of bounds. What's not to like?

  7. I have mountains of the purple herb.

  9. I normally would not mix those two colors together. The tree sits back a good distance from the angel's trumpet. It was an accident!
