i live in a high-rise in z7b in a huge city not geared to growing plants :). and i manage to grow well over 100 plants + some corm/tuber/bulbs in summer on the balcony. i have some capricious tropicals, but my space and care are necessarily limited. i did not mean to mislead anybody, but i feel silly putting a disclaimer 'it's not mine!' as a comment for multi-pics. but may be i should :).
if you've seen my other DB pics - i do put 'bot garden' on most stuff that i don't grow myself. so you can prolly guess, what is mine and what is not. but there is always a 'plant list' to check when in doubt ;).
perhaps, florida is not so far away in my future and so medinilla might become a reality one day :).
