   Is there any possibility I could grow some of these interesting sounding
plants in z5 NY.  I know the shorter season would be a problem but I could
provide them with a mini green house I plan to build out of used surplus
storm windows. I might even be able to provide a little heat via a kerosene
lantern.  In a small space one might be enough.
