Well, Kay. That knocks me out. We've already had frosts. I'll have to put me one in a pot to see the blooms next year. LOL
Rice Paper plant ...... Tetrapanax papyrifera
I have mine in the GH do you suppose I have a chance on getting a bloom? If I do I will post it.
Like you I'd say that's a very good possibility.
Another 100 plants would be easy to do.
This year we will have about 200' of flower beds at work to play w/.
I asked the owners and a Tropical theme is allowed.
I'm thinking an EE bed there and a few Bananas in the island beds.
Hey they are "Island" beds.

Im glad I found this thread...I have forgotten my rice paper plant under my cherry tree..Got to get it in today...this will be the first year bringing it in so I hope it lives..Scooter, do it die down inside like callas?...I dont want to think Ive killed it and its just dormant....I love this plant and want to get it to grow bigger next year...Judy
Scooter you are a hoot. Love your Santa, OMG it is getting close to that time.
Judy, maybe someone else will chime in with an answer for you.
I just got my RP plant and it has like a 3 foot woody stem , so I can't really imagine this one dying back ?
I sent a d-mail to the DG member who gave me mind, to ask about it dying back. I also told her we had a thread going on and invited her to visit. She is from Florida so she should have our answer.
