Re: It's Winter. It's NOT winter. Is to. Is not.

my third "cold front" down here and from what i can sense the norm is about three months of cool weather and a week or two in the 50's

Last year was not typical.

Re: Ensete Lasiocarpa

I think Muesella Lasiocarpa should be its own Genus because it is unique, It does resemble ensette more then musa so its name probably should have been a variant of ensette
