Definitely time to accept the identification! Good description of the plant and the habitat. I grow this stuff all over my yard because my iguanas, bearded dragon, and tortoises all love it. Next time you find some that you're absolutely sure is pesticide-free, try a flower. Nice and peppery.

Welcome to Project Noah, joy2awesome. Now that 3 people have agreed on the identification drP has given you, please "edit this spotting" and add the common name, scientific name and the reference so that this spotting can come out of the "unidentified" category (and to make your teacher happy!).
