No, no! that pain you feel is from lugging those huge, humungous plants of yours around. LOL

I'm thinkin your longitude is fine, but you need to be a LOT further south as far as latitude goes. Somewhere those fabulous plants of yours can stay outside all year. Then you'd just get to rush around with frost cloth covering them up on cold nights . . . last time we sailed a regatta in Key West, they had a 40-yr. record low temp one night, in the 40's and the high the next day never got above 60! Happens even at the 'southernmost point' sometimes.

I've still got fragrant hedychium Butterfly gingers coming into bloom, anywhere the sun still gets to them. I found this one by following the scent.
