Eric,

It looks like they had some interesting plants as usual this year. I have that black banana growing in the yard and it absolutely looks beautiful. Ten times better than in the photo. And that's no knock on your picture either. I'm wondering if it produces edible bananas though.

How was the turnout of visitors? Did you get a chance to talk to the vendors and what they were saying?

Hey Eric--

Looks like some cool stuff, esp. the Trachelospermum.

I didn't get to make it by, unfortunately; had to drive up to Atlanta :angry:

SoCal and SoFla; zone varies by location.

I liked these pictures of new(...to me at least) plants Eric.

See if you can post some more from this show.
