A couple of my favorites right now. First is a Crepe Myrtle..the lilac of the south. best thing is the blooms last and last. They grow really big too. This one is a Black Flame. Thinking next year we will get more. They come in many colors.
Our banana tree. When we moved in Nov. we had no idea how to care for it. We asked around and were told that when it turns all brown to chop it down and so we did. The main trunk turned to mush over the winter and we figured it was a goner. It came back with a vengeance. We must have 16 or more have popped up. Thinking next year we won\'t allow that many to grow. We won\'t get bananas unless it stays very warm into Nov.. Still fun to have.
