Well, my mom got me paranoid and told me that my banana plant in the nice green pot was too pretty for out back and that it should be enjoyed indoors by me.

Needless to say, I have now brought it inside! I am so glad I changed my mind - or my mom did, because I sure am enjoying it so close by.

Here it is now...

I also re-thought things and dug up the pup in the lily garden, and potted it up in a large container, placing it by the back door, to replace the one I brought in. I want to protect both of them inside this winter and put them out next Spring, I decided.

Also too, I am germinating some of Tog's seeds so I may have more banana plants yet! I do want to grow one in the ground and definitely will, but I just changed my mind about the basjoo's and where I initially had them. Sorry for the confusion.

I will let you guys know how things go, and I will take a shot soon, of the pup from the lily garden that is now in a big container by the back door. It's not as nice as my one above, and needs some more time yet.
