During a "blue norther" I keep my car outside, so the truly tropicals can go in the garage. I also had no room for a Christmas tree as the living room was covered with plants. And kitchen counters were packed with cuttings and divisions just in case. I sometimes feel I'm running a tropical invalid home as I wheel the plants in and out for their constitutionals.
I looked at Florida Colors Nursery and almost wept with lusting after the 'Guadalupe Fernandez'.
Mike, get thee behind me Satan of Plumerias
If I even peek, I'll buy...and buy...and buy.
