Petunia x hybrida, Petunia, Solanaceae

Genus and species: Petunia x hybrida
Common Name: Petunia
Family Name: Solanaceae

The flowers on this plant are sticky and fragrant. There are hundreds of cultivars of petunias, even one that is self cleaning--no more picking off dead sticky flowers!!!

Photos taken August 31, 2011 at Virginia Tech in the Hahn Horticulture Gardens.
