Dirtygardener73, Linda_leaf and I were able to get together for a couple of hours today. Dirtygardener has a tremendous number of unusual plants growing in her yard and under her huge oak trees, and she shared both her knowledge and her plants with us. I had a great time and came home with a beautiful banana, several different bromeliads, ginger, aloe, caladiums, some cuttings and a few other plants. She would have shared more plants with me, but I'll have my hands full planting what I got. Thanks so much for an enjoyable afternoon, dirtygardener. (I won't thank you for the plants, since that's a no-no.) Gardeners are the best!
