Hey Randy - welcome to TC! Glad to see another TN person around! You have quite an impressive spread - I never would've guessed you were in TN judging by the plant selection you've got. I'm dying to know where on earth you've found all that stuff? The closest place Swanky and I have been to Knoxville where we could buy palms or bananas is over in either North or South Carolina!

There's a guy in Athens TN who is a big tropical grower. We only just heard about him a few weeks ago. Ever been to the UT Agricultural Gardens? They've got some killer bananas! We discovered Castor beans there about a month ago when we went to a sub-tropical plant class there and just recently bought seeds. I noticed yours, they're great!

Hey, what's the plant in the far right corner of this photo? (the big, leafy plant)

Thanks for the link to your photos - I'm lovin' looking at all of your plants and imagining the possibilities for our yard. If you're ever in K-Town you'll have to come by our place! MsSwanky
