The Golden Lotus bananas are not near their usual 6-7 foot heith this year. Don't know why. I just fertilized the heck out of them again. We'll see. For scale, that's one BIG cat... New Abbyssinian Banana for this year is about to hit 6 feet tall. It'll have to be brought in. Elephant Ears stay in the ground. This upright alocasia came back from last year with no real care. Not sure of the variety. Blood Banan pups are gettign big and the croton is yellow and happy. Plumeria is shooting out leave like crazy now. Hardy stuff mostly. Asparagus Fern in the center. The blue-green stuff is new this year. We'll see how it winters.
