Hello Joy--I don't know what happened to your earlier email. ÃÂ I see no sign of it in my spam filter or regular email. When did you write?ÃÂ --Rick

Sorry, I was just looking for indoor plants that smell good and found these two but have no humidity here. I already gave up on the Sweet Olive (too big and high maintenance) but a Texas gardener suggested using a bell jar or terrarium for the Maid of Orleans Jasmine, which apparently does well here. That sounds great but they sure are expensive when you need one that is big enough for this plant which gets 1 to 2 feet tall. I mean, it's just glass and metal but costs $300!? Thanks for the other outdoor suggestions. I have tropicanna canna, 5 crepe myrtles, and about 21 roses :) and tried azealeas before that died, but pineapple lily sounds intriging. Do they smell like pineapples because I love pineapples?

Hi Here is one of my favorite winter annuals mostly because of the color but also because of it's habit. A Lobelia called "Crystal palace " Another is Fuchsia Spectacular during the cool weather!! Dozens of colors but I favor the large purple and magenta Decided against planting them this year as summer just ended last Monday lol In your area you could probably get both to make it through summer?? They hate my heat and humidity!! gary

No plant is invasive in every corner of the world. A plants invasive or non-invasive status completely depends on location. Buddleja davidii for example is invasive in New York but it's not were I live. The plant struggles to grow for even a single season in my area.
