Charleen, I've got a fragrant bloom stalk on the Tuberoses you sent me too! At night the whole area around it smells wonderful! There's a 2nd bloom stalk arising from the pot too Hurray!

Jack, that pink Pineapple Lily is gorgeous! Do you know where it came from? Those conservatory pics are gorgeous, thanks so much for sharing!

Polly, I've been overwintering Callas in the ground for about 7 years now, both some Z.aethiopica (large white Calla) and Z. rehmannii hybrids (the colorful hybrids). I know of a zone 5 gardener with a protected courtyard who has been growing them in the ground without lifting for over 5 years. I've tried Z.albomaculata in the ground too, but they didn't return, so I'm guessing they're not as hardy.
