No I would never do that, cause I know that with your weather you will probably actually get ripe bananas.I get small bananas but my growing season is to short for them to get bigger and ripe.
! My favorite flower! I love the waterlily!! I would absolutely have some if we had a water feature in our yard. The orange poppies are adorable too. I tried planting Iceland poppies a couple times but they are apparently very delicious for the rabbits.
A few years ago I stopped at a bbt bank in Maryland and got some pads from their cactus growing out front. This year is the first year one bloomed, the blooms are smaller than most of my opuntia. They start out light orange and don't open out as wide as most do, the bees love them the start going to them as soon as they start opening.they pads have a few small spines but they can be handled without to much worry.
And here is a pic of a red lily

Oh my, can I put this photo on my wall?
We'll see if mine blooms before it's consumed by the tortoise!
Very lovely!
I have plenty more cactus and other plants that my russians love.Not counting what I planted in the ground I have about 40 pots of the same spineless,Oh my, can I put this photo on my wall?

My russians favorite is this sedum and I have many extra plants
Cactus fruit these are the larger fruits so I quarter them long ways for them.
Violets, they grow wild here in the lawn but I keep some in pots just for give aways..
Rose of Sharon, They love the new growth leaves and go nuts over the blooms, they eat the older tougher leaves but prefer the tender ones.The original ones I have were started from seeds I got from Terry, The Redfoot Nerd.Now they have dropped seeds and I have them growing everywhere.
So if Steve every gets hungry for something different let me know. I use to have many more tortoises than I keep now, so I needed more food than I do now, but the plants just keep multiplying.
Awww, those are some spoiled torts!
This is pretty interesting. Especially for those of you with water lilies. I cut a flower from one of the plants and brought it inside.
It closed at night as it would outdoors.
And reopened in the AM.

Terry sent me some Rose of Sharon too. I now have 31 Rose of Sharon trees growing. Red, purple, white, pink. And the cactus sent to me are growing fast. And so different looking. When they all start blooming I will send some pix. I even have ONE plant that blooms red, white and blue. It's too kewl lookin......
Terry had good seeds, almost 100% germination. I'm glad the cactus is doing good out there. I thought they would, I've spent some time in Portland years ago. used to go to what we called the Square when it was full of freaks, the last time I was there right after 9 11 it was full of yuppies selling spices and such, (How Disappointing) A while back I came across a pic of you feeding Bob a strawberry. do you still have it or is it one that you lost ?
Gophers got to my hibiscus! It fell over today. What is the best way to grow a new one or more? Should I save the seeds or use cuttings? And if I use cuttings, do I have to start them in water or can I just plant them in the ground?
