Hi Do any of you have mail order sites? The only one I know of is Liz. Might as well keep the $ in the family! Joelle
Members Sites
Good Idea. I'd like to keep in amongst us too as well if I can. I have a web site , but is health related and nothing to do with gardening.
Linda
Well lets have a peek anyway Linda. It would be nice to get to 'know' you. Joelle
CannaAskForMore (Craig, isn't it?) from Toronto has a website doesn't he? I was sure that I made his site a favourite, but I can't find it. I remember he had some gorgeous Cannas. Does anyone else have his website address?

CannaAskforMore sent me this link.
That's it! Now that I think of it, I think his name was Grant. Anyway, I have made it a favourite ...again. Thanks Brenda.

Oh how exciting! Thank you, I wonder how long it will take me to kill a Bannana tree!
I think I would try either or both of these:Ensete ventricosum or Musa basjoo. Would you plant them in the ground for the summer and pot up in the winter. I leave the GH between 50-55 in the winter. Would you cut them back to the soil and let them dry out a bit. Or keep them un-cut and slightly moist. Or grow in the house for the winter- no really good south windows. What is the proper method.? Thanking you in advance. Joelle
LOL, it only took me 5 months to kill my banana. I think it was too wet and cold for it this winter. In my covered enclosed deck, some nights it got down to around 40*F and it was too wet. I didn't notice that it was under a drip spot when it rained, so it got way more water than I ever gave it. However, I have another one now, and am trying again.

I grow musa bajoo in my garden and leave it there all winter. But my zone is 8b. I have a musa ensete maurelli which I grow in a large pot on the deck and bring it into the conservatory for the winter. Min. temp is about 55 F. Its thriving beautifully but I don't water it a lot in the winter, even inside.
Here's a few more:
http://www.floraexotica.ca/ Perrynguyen's site
as well as
http://www.plantsofperfection.com/ Christine's site
I didn't know Christine was a DG member. Do you know what her user name is?
Cristine is a DG member.......however she isn't a subscribing member. Her user name is Cristine with a letter after it. Since she is young and rather new I believe she found paying a little difficult along with trying to get her business going. She belonged to Dave's before paying subscriptions were implemented.
I believe this is her page but I may be wrong: http://davesgarden.com/members/CristinaH/ She prolly won't check it very often....she is very busy after her move.

I have ordered form her in the past. I was impressed with her products as well as her business etiquette. She is a very nice lady.

Hey girl, could you be more specific please.
Thanks Pam! Is Perry a paying subscriber? Has anyone ordered from him. I would love to order the blue butterfly bush---Great price!!!! Joelle
Oh I should add that It doesn't matter to me if some one is a paying subscriber, I just would love the opportunity to see and shop at Canadian DG'ers sites. Thanks everyone for all your help. I new that you long timers would point me in the right direction. Helping me with my addiction... shame on you all, your like drug pushers! LOL!! Thanks again, Joelle

He is a paying subscriber Joelle.......he just joined this year but rarely posts.
You have mail, Brenda
That's what I was looking for last fall, Joelle. I think they are gorgeous. Finally found that Liz had some. Can't wait to get my plant at the RU. Perry's look great too, and you are right, great price!
OK, I have looked at Christinas site! OMG. I need to mortgage the house!!! She has an incredible list- I don't know where to start- I want one of everything. I need to get a part time job to pay for all this! Joelle
Her plants are worth it Joelle! I've ordered from her for a couple of years now and have always been very pleased. Ü
Thats all I needed to hear PAM!!!! CHARGE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
;)
O I am terrible at keeping track of these threads! I am sorry MG99 and brugcrazy I see you answered and gave advice on my plot to kill Bananas above- thank you both!
mg99 - Great five months - summer would be over for us, don't have to winter it!
brugcrazy- in pots sounds good for me to, little water in the winter- gotcha!
