I have been trying for about a year now to grow pagoda flower...(too lazy to look up the real latin name). These grow tall, have gorgeous foliage, and have a pagoda-shaped red flower...I have babied a few plants a friend gave me but nothing, they always pooped on me. While I was doing my post-under the weather weeding I found this: a strong & happy pagoda plant! I guess she was not happy where I had originally planted her. I have no idea how this thing got to the front garden (my prior attempts at growing it where in the back garden). Amazing.

Hey GF! My pagoda is so weird, it was given to me 2 years ago and I stuck it in the ground and I swear, it hasn't grown a bit! It's still under 1' tall and has never even thought about blooming. Congrats on finding your random plant. I guess weeding does pay off! :-)
I know! Pagodas are super moody, aren't they? Just give it a few months...I am sure you'd find a pagoda flower sticking her head up in the weirdest of places.
Weeding does pay off.
Makes the hubby happy ☺
Weeding. Ugh, I need to do SO much of that. But in the meantime, I just found a local person who is selling a bunch of fruitbearing plants in 3 gal pots for $5 each. I'm going over in the morning to see what she has. I know she has strawberry guavas, figs and papayas... not sure what else. Wish me luck! :-)
