Hello all! New to the forum and just wanted to say hi.

I'm very impressed with all the great work people around here are doing. Beautiful website and plants too!

I live on Vancouver Island and I've always been a plant lover. I've grown rhodos and windmill palms for years but I'm basically new to growing bananas and tropicals.

Last summer I grew
-6 Basjoo
-20 or so Elephant ear plants (various types)
-Lots of Canna
-Gunnera
-Fatsia Japonica
-Bamboo
-Miscanthus giganteus

and lots more.

Just trying to build my own little tropical haven.


I'm very excited to learn about bananas and I'm feeling lucky to have found such an imformative forum to share experiences, inspiration and ideas.

Hello and welcome!

Beautiful place you live!
Nice to see someone growing tropicals up there, eh.

About three years ago, I stayed on Gabriola Island for a couple of weeks, not to far from you. Such scenery!

Nice to meet ya.
