: Thanks, Newt ;) : I have quite a few plants that see me through these northern canadian winters... snake plant (too nice to be compared to my ex mother-in-law's forked tongue, LOL!!), aloe vera, english ivy, cyclamin and voilets, among others. I have grow lights and shelves so I have half of them under the lights and display the other half and then rotate once a month :) I don't think I could ever have too many plants! I'm all excited because I've started a "naked tree" from seed as well as a dwarf banana tree. Keep your fingers crossed, they're starting to look good :) Hi Jenna, Ok, now you've got me stumped, pardon the pun. :) But, what in the world is a 'naked tree'? The only plant that comes to mind is a euphorbia tirucalli, often called a pencil cactus. It's really not a cactus at all. Is this it? http://www.maccactus.com/euphorbia%20tirucalli.html Another you might like for your home that can go in the ground for the summer would be Oxalis regnellii - purple leafed oxalis. It gets lovely light pink blooms. http://home.att.net/~tropicalgems/oxtri.jpg http://www.arhomeandgarden.org/plantoftheweek/articles/Purple-Leafed_Oxalis.asp I do love banana splits! :) Newt
