I'm heading over there and put my two cents worth in.
COOL!!! :o)
Katiebear, you sure have your priorities in order. And it sounds like it is going to be a little eden itself when you get all done! Would love to see some pics.
Christi - can't wait to see some of your journal! Jenny's place really sounds wonderful, and I am sooooo happy that you had a good time (excuse me - GREAT time!).
Going to check out the link...

This is for those that know bhaugh:
Hi Everyone. Miss Beckie just called and they are on their way to the hospital now. April was just admitted about 30 minutes ago and she was 6 CM dilated. So our little DG Angel will hopefully make an appearance VERY soon! Please pray for an easy delivery for momma and baby!!!!
Hi Pepper23,
the jasmine picture you had posted above is called angelwing jasmine. One of my favourite jasmines.
Thanks! I will remember that.
If you are all looking for hardy, tropical looking plants, Cordyline Australis (Cabbage Palm/Tree) might be suitable for your climate. They grow just about anywhere and are tough - don't mind the snow and frosts. Don't know if they are available in the US but it might worth some research to find out.
Here's a photo

Thank you, Mike. We have something that I know only as Bear Catus which is really no name at all. It lives about 20 years in my area and takes everything Texas weather can dish out. Used to have it when "rock gardens" were the vogue.

I have another plant which might be of interest. It's called Ligularia Reniformis, has large glossy leaves and withstands the cold very well. Something to think about if you want to achieve the "tropical look". Have you tried Alocasia's? Would they die off in winter and return in the spring?

Pretty neat plants Mike, thanks. I"ll have to look around for them. In my area most Alocasias have to be dug up and stored for the winter. Some can be kept in the ground with heavy mulching.
