RE: New plants...

She sure does, Kitty!  Congrats, Sheri!

What a great surprise, Kitty.  We did have a pretty mild winter temperature
wise with some periods of snow cover.  Maybe that helped some?

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Sherri has green hands and feet.  I checked out the pics of Livistona - the
Chinese Fan Palm, and can't believe that's hardy for her - she's more of a 6
and I'm a 5.
Guess what I found in one of my beds.  a Canna seedling.  And I had no
cannas this year, but did last year.
