Sunday, September 16, 2007. There is perhaps no flower that conjures images of the tropics than the flower of a Hibiscus! Though they look like they have to be strictly a tropical plant, there are a lot of "cold hardy" hibiscus varieties that can thrive in Zone 4 temperatures (my wife's sister has one in her Minnesota front yard! These great flowering plants are hybrids of North American natives such as the Rose Mallow (. If there is a downside to these great plants, it's that they can be hard to find, t...

If your life is like mine, you have so many things going on at once that before you know it there's snow on the ground and your plants are covered in it!

Sunday, November 30, 2008. Growth of the Pink Velvet Banana. After almost two full growing seasons, the pink velvet banana (. This year Virginia started off cool and ended dry, and despite giving the plant no special treatment other than a feed of fertilizer in the spring and treating for the dreaded Japanese beetles, the banana grew several pups and flowered! I am convinced this banana is quite hardy and a (perhaps. Perfect tropical for gardens in Virginia and the surrounding mid-Atlantic region.

Friday, March 19, 2010. What Color is Your Garden? As I entered the Gardener’s "Show House". At the Des Moines Botanical Center,. A question posted on the wall caught my eye. Colors in our gardens supposedly "say" something about us. Do you tend to favor. ORANGE in your garden? Perhaps you are fond of YELLOW,. Or, how about GREEN. I'm especially fond of. As in these impatiens. The crisp, coolness of WHITE. Or the eye-catching color of RED? And finally, the soothing color of PURPLE. A Work in Progress.

Virginia Tropics: Yuccas
http://www.virginiatropics.com/2009/07/yuccas.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. While the sight of a yucca may conjure up visions of a dry desert landscape, far from the tropical landscapes bananas bring to mind, they are terrific plants for a tropical garden! After flowering, I prefer to let the stems on my yuccas dry completely before removing to minimize stress on the plant. Trim away dead leafs if desired, and leave uncovered in the winter to enjoy the look of a desert snow! July 30, 2009 at 9:32 PM. From a fellow tropicalesque gardener!

Gorgeous in full bloom, a home for nesting birds all year, it was welcoming even in winter when the strong trunks had a presence. What's a devastated artist to do except make a collage? The wall is almost complete ...
