Much nicer picture, thank you! It’s still croton, and still desirable… There are seed catalogs that offer croton seed by the hundredweight… Check this post… http://npsot.org/wp/boerne/publications/native-grown-articles/in-the-hill-country-or-blackland-prairie-its-still-prairie-tea/ There’s a picture on the post that might be the plant you have…. Threeseed croton (Croton lindheimerianus) seems a likely candidate. I transplanted some croton to my garden a few years ago, and I’ve been using it as a nutrient accumulator… tossing the extra plants on on the compost, while making sure to keep some… After reading what a boon it is to the dove and quail… I may just spread it around the property a bit…
