The Madagascar palm isn't really a palm at all but a succulent that's hardy to USDA Zone 10. Because of its spiny trunk, you probably don't want to grow it around children.
This Mexican petunia (Ruellia) isn't really a petunia at all, but it is from Mexico! Hardy to USDA Zone 8, it's easy to root and produces tons of blue flowers that butterflies adore.
