Hi all,
Since it is cold and miserable here in NJ, and all the plants are either being stored or are trimmed and growing inside, I thought it would be nice to share some pictures with the community from over the summer at my house.
All the pictures contain various bananas and other tropicals - this is my first full summer growing!
I have, although some may not be pictured: Basjoo, DC, SDC, 'Enano Gigante' (possible just another DC), Zebrina, Bordelon (pups, not pictured), High Colour Mini, Musella Lasiocarpa, and some unidentified sold as just "banana plant". Also a Colocasia, some Yuccas, Pineapples, and of course the usual suspects from Home Depot's tropical foliage selection - Majesty palm, Triangle palm (tiny), White Bird of Paradise, Sago palm and Chinese Fan palm. Also a few flowers. Enjoy!
In September we started renovationg, and replaced the deck with a sunroom, so some of the larger plants had to come to the front of the house:
This is what I expect next month, why I really hate NJ:
But there are some really good things about winter also:
Looking forward to the spring! Hope you all enjoyed my pics as much as I've enjoyed all of yours!
