My Musa Basjoo mama with 5 of her pups. The sixth one, it was then #3, I severed off last fall and “grew”
it in a pot inside. It did not a whole lot of growing there, but it survived and now shares a pot with a canna.
To the right is a scarlet carpet rose climbing up my Dizzy Prune. That is supposed to be a ground cover
rose not growing higher than 2’. It is now >5’.

In the pink pot at the bottom left grows still very slowly, even though it is reasonable warm now, my Costus.
I believe that it is suffering from the dry air here.

Another view of the same. There are actually two roses of the same cultivar in this picture, the one
in the right is the younger one

And this is the street view with my little "tropical patch" in the background right.
