Love the pic of your driveway! I like the spruces and other conifers also. We can grow them here in Knoxville, but nothing like you guys can!

I agree with the others on the banana - looks like dwarf cavendish to me.

The spikey plant is a dracaena, probably dracaena marginata.

Nice bird of paradise and pitcher plant also. Don't water that BOP much at all during the winter (or the banana for that matter). They have a tendency to get root-rot very easily! Nice frog too.

BTW, what's it like living in your own time zone? Why does Newfoundland have its own time zone? So strange that you are 1/2 hour ahead of Eastern Time. Must be confusing when your favorite tv shows come on... Please don't take any offense to this next question...there is none intended...I was born in Canada (Calgary, Alberta), and also lived in New Brunswick for a short time...why do they call you guys the "Goofy Newfies?" I have always thought of that term as sort of an endearing term used by other Canadians for you guys, but I don't know where it came from.
