Thanks for your comments. The large leaf plant in the first pic is Castor Bean. It was sent to me in a seed exchange and grows 10-12 ft. in one season in zone 5. In other parts of the world it becomes a tree and considered a weed. It's a crop in India, the largest exporter of Castor Oil. Botanical name is Ricinus Communis. Poison can be made from the seed hulls. Underneath is Amaranth, aka Love Lies Bleeding. It's a food crop in Africa & Asia - from its roots to seeds. I use the lanky Castor Bean plant to hold it up because the long blooms eventually pull it to the ground. I'll have to take a current pic - it's really cool.

Last two pics are Brugmansia, aka Angels Trumpet. Originally from S. America, it's naturalized all over the world including Florida. I first saw it grown at Niagara on the Lake and thought, "How did Canadians grow these gorgeous tropical plants?" In cold climates, they have to be heavily pruned, potted and placed in garage or basement. They're almost impossible to kill (unless they freeze) and grow quickly in the spring. If you're interested in cuttings, FReep mail me. I'll have to cut them soon.
