Jesse

I think maybe 7-8 Colocasia....maybe less after last night 😯
we briefly touched 32F for like an hour at most(I just happened to wake up
at 4am and look),within about 45mins some clouds rolled in and it went back to 34F.

The Fredek looked fine yesterday,4 more arrive today/tomorrow.

This Ginger is probably 7 but more likely zone 8,Alpinia vittata is
a true white ginger and is fairly rare,there are some that look like it
but they are a yellow variegation and not true white.

This one is coming from Hawaii.

I need to see how the Colocasia/Snow banana(E.glaucum) did with the cold last night.

I will try and get some pics of this stuff when it arrives,pretty small at
this point but always fun for comparison later in the season! 8)

Me too.

The ginger is coming from Hawaii so it will be a while
before it arrives/my other order of Frydek-Ventricosum and
Purple shamrock should be here tomorrow.

Everything looks o.k.
I checked them this morning.....
my tropical red Cannas and variegated Hollie arrived today-
the Hollie is quite a cute little plant,should be gorgeous as
it gets bigger-right now you need a magnifying glass to see it. 😀

Funny, a friend wanted to know what this plant was ( in the UK), turned out to be a 5 foot variegated holly. Very nice plant.

Everything is finaly starting to go nuts. A few weeks ill be planting things like you.

Glad things handled the low, hopefuly you ( and me :D) dont get any more!

Even visiting PN several times a day day to day have no chance clicking my head from every minute Russian to time to time used English. Anyway Jim would you please tell me if had any chance planting Alocasia wentii "variegata" in your front yard? I bought a couple of them today and were learned from Internet it"t pretty hardy for growing outside until the frost. Any ideas?
