Ruellia caroliniana (Wild Petunia) is a beautiful native wildflower that is currently blooming its heart out. Other species (Ruellia purshiana) of this plant have already bloomed this year. This plant is in the Acanthaceae family which also hosts several other native plants to Alabama, including Justicia americana (American Water Willow).
