I'm trying to find the name of a plant. The only thing I can remember is that it began with Southern. It is a large soft-leaf plant that grows fragile looking stems (that wave in the wind) that have groupings all up the stem of small tiny flowers (mine are light yellow). It comes back every year. Where can I find the name - just the common name?

If this list doesn't help, take samples to your local agricultural extension office for identification.
Without knowing which zone you are in, it's difficult to narrow the search.
It's a low-lying plant with long skinny leaves colored green on the top and the underside is eggplant color. Is it a type of yucca?
I don't think it's a yucca. The article at this link shows a couple pictures of yucca: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/yucca/propagation-of-yucca-plant.htm
One image in particular should be helpful to you. It's at the bottom, right hand side after "read related articles".
If you could provide more information about the plant in question, it still could be identified. Height, width, length of leaf, sun, shade, bloom If any, ect.
We have lived in our house for a year and nothing has ever grown in this spot until we tilled the soil and a couple of weeks later this vine started growing. It has purplish/blue looking things that look like it will be a flower but then a fruit looking thing pops up in the middle and is very dry with little black hollow pods inside. The "flower fruit" is between dime and nickel sized. I can send a photo just didn't see where to attach it.
I suggest you take a fresh sample to your local agricultural extension office for identification.
Information about a lesser known holiday plant. It is making a come back in stores and being sold as a holiday plant for Christmas.
I am not quite sure what plant you are talking about. Can you describe it?
In the mean time, here is an article on Christmas plants:

I have a vine plant that looks like it is dead, but it has little purple leaf-like flowers growing on it. What is it?
Could you send us a picture? This would help us to identify the plant for you.
I have 6 plants from my grandma's service and have no clue what they are or how to take care of them. I would love to learn how to take care of them. My granny was always good with plants; however, I have no clue when it comes down to how to do anything for them.
We are sorry to hear of your loss.
Please send a picture of the plants to questions@gardeningknowhow.com. We will be able to ID them and then give you care instructions for each.
We were at a garden fest yesterday in Melbourne, Florida. There was a tent set up selling mostly "butterfly" attracting plants. There were some viney looking plants on trellises that were a bit more pricey that we could pay. They had light purple or maybe blueish tiny flowers. We both bought the smaller versions with no flowers and would love to know name so we know where to plant, type of care, soil etc.
I am leaning towards Clerodendrum ugandense or Butterfly Pea Vine. Take a look at those two and let me know if either one of those may be it. If not, I will keep looking.
