I love the wide variety of plants you can find just outside of Jennings hall! That is where I was able to find most of mine too,
I’m not sure if you knew, but the last picture you have is of Partridge Pea! I love the way it looks with the legumes that grow up into the air instead of drooping down like most of the Fabaceae. It also has sensitive leaves that move in response to stimuli. It’s probably one of my favorite “common” plants.
