Annual Vinca
Glossy-leaved heat champion (botanically unrelated to true Vinca minor) that blooms through humidity that wilts everything else.
Dangerous to cats
Toxic to cats and dogs. It contains the same class of alkaloids used as chemotherapy drugs, so a large ingestion is more than a stomach ache.
