Nancyana
Illustris
Giant Upright (A. macrorrhizos)
California (A.odora)
Dwarf (A. gaganea)
A. Hilo Beauty

Others that haven't pupped yet, but will:
Giant Upright Variegated (A. macrorrhizos)
Mickey Mouse (X. Albo Atrovirens)

Heliconia:
Lady Di
Distans
Golden Torch
Arawak
One other, I can't come up with a name, too early in the a.m., I'll think of it

It's probably best to stay away from my Canna - I just found out they have rust.

Daisy,

Missing heliconia - Andromeda

I also have a plant called a Vanilla Perilla Magilla. It's new, and hard to find. It grows in shade, and I've put several indoors, to test how it does as a houseplant.

I just propagated some, so I have several seedlngs.

Wesley Chapel, FL(Zone 9a)

Moretz,

The Mickey Mouse are small. They haven't produced any pups yet. If you want to trade for one, you'll get the first pup that comes up.

Moretz,

I got the Heliconia.

2 of the 3 plants had broken stems. The box they were in was too small. I can take a pic, if you want.

I'll pot them, and see if I can get new growth.

I'm going to the PO tomorrow. I'll mail your Nancana then.

Steve
