Really? I thought you might think I was nutz, putting a huge banana plant in with lilies! I didn't know if it was a good idea or not - I was worrying!

Too funny, that someone thought of it too and that it worked out. The lily flowers will be here only for a short time - so I wanted to see something interesting among them as they slowly die down. I am just as excited as a kid at Christmas time, to watch this thing grow! It's just too cool.

My one neighbor's eyes nearly bulged out of her head, when I told her what the little pup was. She just couldn't believe it, and is also excited to see it grow as well.

Ok, here is a shot of my indoor basjoo, that is going outside shortly. The shot is taken in front of my indoor asiatic lilies that are dying back, but it grows under my fluorescent light system...
