>>Once every few months I slip a non-aroid question into this group. It's
time again.
A surprise cold snap associated with a bigger surprising horrific work
schedule caused me to just let a few plants die in my garden.
The variegated tapioca - Manihot esculenta variegata - is one of my
favorite non-aroids and it rolled over dead with the cold snap. I brought
the tuber in but it will undoubtedly do nothing. (I've tried this one
before but the tubers don't seem to send anything up regardless of how long
I wait.)
I'll be in the northeastern part of Miami visiting family in January. I
may head down to Fairchild during that trip. Does anyone in this group
know of a garden center or nursery near any of those parts of Miami that
might carry Manihot? Ideally I'd like to find a small one that would
easily fit into a carry-on bag.
Even though this might be pushing my luck, how about small passion flowers
aside from the easily available alato-caerulea?
Thanks,
Les<<
