I live in Southern California, which probably has cooler winter nights, but I would recommend Bird of Paradise, both regular (orange) and giant (white blossom). Tropicanas are also magnificent, although fade to almost nothing in the winter. Also, the night blooming cactus series (posted on this site) has an incredibly large and fragrant blossoms which bloom 2-3 times a summer, and then have a succulent appearance, appropriate for a background layered look. I have had good success with my bannana trees, but only mixed success with the red bannanas. What are you proposing to trade?
