All of my bananas came back, but are only topping out at 6-7' at the tallest point with no boots of fruit yet. I've decided we probably won't get any this year. My ground orchids are still struggling too, but are showing some progress. Meanwhile, I'm loving the season change. October is my favorite month in Florida!!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18123627573356760362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436300684009668766.post-31926993194896609892010-10-07T04:43:06.193-04:002010-10-07T04:43:06.193-04:00Hi...Nice jasmine flower...I like the fragrant too...Hi...Nice jasmine flower...I like the fragrant too.

The smell was so intense, we had to close the windows at night. Only plant one and not near a window was the lesson I learned. Pretty wonderful in limited amounts, otherwise toxic to the olfactory nerves.compost in my shoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572258657523962702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436300684009668766.post-6721521084757356042010-10-06T21:31:40.403-04:002010-10-06T21:31:40.403-04:00So cute but so meddlesome!

Glad the zamias coming back.
