They grow in our yard. I used to collect the pods and throw them in the water. One of my favorite pastime as a child. ;-)
Thanks Alice. I guess they do grow easily. This was wildly growing in a grassy portion where we park our cars to ride a boat to our dive resort :-)
I call them Mexican Petunia in my yard in Florida, but I am Think Petunia is all right. They grow very easily.
