I filled my green house with all sorts of plants, but the san pedros have been my favorite. Its like I can watch them grow in real time.

Salvia , I only started growing it about 3 months ago and I keep loving it more, such an amazing plant.

I've been really pleased with Mimosa hostillis. The Blue Water Lilies are cool too. They bloomed a couple weeks ago. I need to get those pictures up next time I'm back home.

I'd love to see them
Trichs have been my favorite for a few years, but something about these peppers really made me say
I planted 8 varieties but these were just special.

Cacti for sure.
My most surprisingly cool plant of the season was probably Entada rheedii (African Dream Herb). Very cute awesome vine and the seed is formidable.

As far as reaping the rewards goes, cannabis would have to be number one
But I had a really good N. Rustica harvest, and of course watching all of my old cacti spend their first full length summer in Texas. Just this year I've already gotten 18 inches of growth on most of my pachanois

my san pedro. it grew a pup in june at the base and ive been watching it grow since it was dime-sized. in just 2 or 3 months its already like 8 inches. it grows so much freakin faster than the main branch.
also, i cut the top off of the main branch a while ago to test the potency and was hoping it might brach more if i did that too. after a whle when nothing was happening i started to think it might be a long time before it starts another pup. then about an hour ago i was moving it into the garage because its supposed to rain most of this week when i noticed a tiny green blob a lil bigger than a bb. its another pup!!! that made my day.
im gonna cut the 8 incher off as soon as the rain stops so i can have another SP since i only have the one.

You people with your different climates are funny My favorite this summer was my jalapeño plant. It's fruiting as I type this. I'm going to plant an habanero seed or two within the coming week.
Big L - 8 varieties?? Please list them in order of how awesome you think they are.

My indoor morning glory grow has not stopped flowering every day for well over a month so that has to be the best this year.
