Geranium sorry I didn't mention your December flowers. I was looking at the wrong page Well it's a change to have a mild autumn/early winter. It's nice to see some flowers still out and cheering us up WF you've got some nice December colour aswell. Is that red one called a tobaco plant ? It looks similar to something I've seen years ago.

Here's a Sonalum capsicastrum. It hasn't got many leaves. I forgot to water it and they shrivelled up

This banana always cheers me up ;D I love pink things. Too bad it's not edible though.

Why is the banana not edible. Is it a very seedy type?

Yes Cherry, the seeds are really bad, it's like eating bananas with pea gravel

You would be able to grow mangoes if you don't already. My daughter grows R2E2 in Queensland.

Floydie, we have grow some other bananas. I just planted the pink one coz it's got a nice color We have a few mango trees but they're still small, I think they are chokonan (honey mango) and lancetilla (the red one).

For the flowers and foliage, some cannas I picked up from a friend's house today. ;D We traded, I gave her cookies and pies and I got plants in return.
