We seem to have an abundance of spiders around the yard. I try to keep them off the porch, but I know that spiders have an important place in the garden. There are two large spiders, agripoe aurantia, at the lamp post in the front, where my moon flower is.
Here is another mystery plant. It bloomed in August, but I'm just now posting the picture. The woman who sold it to us said it was a Mexican Violet, but I can't find that plant in any book. Pretty little plant, rather bushy and close to the ground, growing in partial shade.

I found these pictures by asking Google images, if the link no longer works. I don't think they match your plant. The leaves are rounder, though a similar green, and the flowers appear to be on taller spikes. Ah the mysteries of nature...

I've been challenged several times trying to find pictures to identify plants whose names I don't know. It's quite tricky.
