Your ...No, I can't believe 2018 is almost done. Your blooms are so cheery, especially the pink Viburnum buds and flowers. I actually find the banana leaf "monster" fascinating. Are you able to compost the dried leaves or use them as wraps for any purpose? Just curious--I've never had the luxury of having large tropical plants like that survive outdoors.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-10299326548362886992018-12-14T06:44:00.921-08:002018-12-14T06:44:00.921-08:00So many pretty flowers in your garden at this dark...So many pretty flowers in your garden at this darkest time of year. Aren't we lucky to live in such a mild winter climate where we can enjoy blooms every day of the year? The wide shots are swell too. Gardens in winter have their own charm and beauty (banana monster and all.)outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-63763671151706621402018-12-13T20:49:40.927-08:002018-12-13T20:49:40.927-08:00My Correas are blooming too!

There's less color here at this time of year but our temperatures are much higher than yours and so there are still plenty of blooms if you look hard enough. I remain envious of your Clematis.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-73486594675843500302018-12-13T16:48:15.510-08:002018-12-13T16:48:15.510-08:00I hope the Rhodochiton overwinters for you.

My neighbor has an enormous banana that looks a lot like your monster. I tried growing one but didn't pick the right spot, apparently, because it died and never came back.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
