        It`s a super tropical plant , unless you got a massive greenhouse at 28c with 90% humidity all year round , not a plant for everyone ;)

        what kind of plant do you like?

        Yeah, they definitely need conditions I don't have here. They have interesting and wonderful flowers. And have other properties which make them more interesting.
        I love things that bloom, things that are funky...unusual...and some everyday plants. I've always had indoor gardens especially when I wasn't able to have outdoor ones. Different house plants, violets. Lately I've added quite a few orchids and just today my air plants arrived via US postal service in these extremely cold temps so I hope they will be okay.
        What plants do you like?

            Wow! Can I come live with you? Your garden is wonderful!
            I have moved to a home thats yard needs to be made into a garden. It has some slopes that need to be tiered, some plants taken out, it has lots of grass...so I can take some before pictures...if it wasn't so cold outside right now. Maybe next week will be warmer" today my sister in law who lives in a warmer climate reminded me that Winter here doesn't start until Dec. 21st...what? It was 9 degrees farinhie out today.
            Your giving me a tough assignment! I like so many different things I will have to do some drawings of what I would like the yard to look like and what plants will do well in this area. We have hot dry summers and cold winters. It varies a lot, so we can grow many things that require a freeze to grow and not those that can't handle the cold.
            Thank you for the suggestions.
