Many people put in strange gates: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/overgrown+front+gate.jpg.html Horsetail is an ancient plant that is extremely hardy; much like bamboo it just doesn't take being removed very well. Most people elect to clip it to keep it under control: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/horsetail+after+clipping.jpg.html Turks cap is native to the Austin area and it blooms pretty much year round. It is fairly usual to find the intact blossoms falling: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/Turks+cap+in+decline.jpg.html I believe this is a century plant recovering from our little freeze: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/succulent+before+opening.jpg.html Oleander is a noxious aggressive plant in Austin. If left unchecked it will take over a sunny spot: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/oleander+taking+charge.jpg.html Flora will find a way to grow if there is a bit of moisture: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/into+the+cracks+and+crevices.jpg.html All the best. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
