The Gold Aztec plumeria smells just like peaches, it's divine. I have plenty to share. FYI, though for those I share with, the aztec plumeria are "seeds of" aztec gold. In Plumeria etiquette, this means that the seeds don't always come "true" to the named plant. I'm not that in to them, so a pretty flower and a nice smell is enough to please me, and if it's not enough for the recipient, then another plant would be recommended.

The Jungle did take a hit, Papayas, Plumerias, and Bananas all look like wilted lettuce. The good news is that it is all cosmetic damage and they will all restore themselves.

The small Tree ferns didn't blink in the cold, although they did benefit from the nearby Heliconia being covered up. When I figure out how to successfully grow the, spores, it will be like a rich person saying a round of drinks for everyone, except this will be a round of Tree ferns for everyone! But I'll have to experiment first. Anyone with tips and sights on how to do this please forward them to me!
