Metrosideros, thanks for introducing me to those rare, unusual plants. The orchid is very pretty, but I have to find a Shingle plant and the Pearl Anhurium.


Joeswife,I learned something new from you again, I was not aware that the ground ginger was winter hardy (I did not take the time to look them up). I assumed that they needed protection in the winter, I have had a Chinese ginger for years, taking up valuable space in my GH.

I am so proud of my Heliconias this spring, I have quite a few blooms. Texasbigleaves advised me to water them a lot over the winter, which I did. and it works. (big grin)
