A Visit to the Greenhouse

A visit to the Greenhouse always takes me to another zone. I really would love to live among the exotic plants, but alas, pictures are my 2nd option. So here's a virtual tour for you narrated with the help of my green-thumbed daughter. You are now entering Tropicana.

Coming into this room during winter is ecstasy - about 80 degrees. 

Yes, this is a banana tree!

Those green things growing above the purple pod are... yep bananas! The purple leaves are shed to only reveal another stalk of the fruit. When these are ripe, I am fortunate to be given a gift now & again.

I have a plant in my kitchen - it needs re-potting & perhaps a few more plants for cross fertilization.

I especially love the succulents.

Sugar cane! The plant will sprout from the ridges on the stalk. 

A pot my daughter created while minoring in Art - Her/his hair is living. 

Ouch!
