| I took this picture at Moody Gardens where they have a huge glass pyramid with a rainforest planted inside. Boy do I wish I could grow these!
Hope you like.

| Great picture. I planted one several years ago because of the unusual bloom. Phil |

| AJB Why is it you can't grow them in zone 9? They do great for me in zone 7. randy |

| Really? I'll have to find a source. Do grow them in the ground outside and just protect them during the winter? |

| Because zone 7 has many weeks of below freezing temps, this plant along with all my other tropicals are grown in containers. They spent the winter indoors before I built a greenhouse. Then their outdoors from spring till fall. I would think in zone 9 they would be landscape plants with some form of overnight protection two or three times during your winter. I can send you a cutting in the spring if you want one. I root a few of them over the winter in the greenhouse. randy |
