It's still looking like I may be able to make it but not 100% sure. I've also got a few Curry Leaf Tree (Murraya koenigii) seedlings that I can dig up and I can try to root cuttings of Mexican Oregano if anyone is interested (if all else fails, I can bring cuttings for someone to root). I've found three Dwarf Powderpuff seedlings that should be small enough to transplant. Tom, I've been accused of being willing to try most anything, although vines have become one thing that I've said no to (I'm fighting to remove a number of vines from the yard, some invited - most not). Sterile is a selling point. I can add the lime to my citrus collection. keiki, everything you mention sounds good. I've had a "banana" for the past 10 years which has bloomed twice and produced fruit once just in time to freeze before it could ripen. I believe it's a plantain and would much prefer a more palatable fruit. My wife has been searching for some old angle wing begonias that she used to have so I'll always take them. I tried to collect heliconias a couple of years ago but only have a couple of the common varieties left. I've acquired a number of bromiliads over the past few years as well. Necklace pod is a hummingbird plant. Not sure where I have room for one now but (with a little work) "there's always room for one more". Steve in Valrico

I live in Sac and have been "tropical" gardening for 8 years now. It is true that the closer to downtown the warmer the microclimate. I live in midtown and we have not had frost since 1998. These are the tropical and sub-tropical plants that I grow or see in the yards between my place on 23rd and the Capitol Arboretum all year long; Queen palm, windmill palm,date palm, pigmy date palm,blue palm,Kentia and bamboo palms (in courtyards) cycads, philodendron selosium, monstrera deliciosa, many species of shell and butterfly ginger, colocasia and alocasia,cordyline terminalis (in very protected areas) C australis, C stricta, plumbego and false plumbego, princess flower,abutilon, tree ferns, podocarpus, brugmasnsias and daturas, cannas, callas, fortnight lily, jacaranda, dwarf pointsiana, both the regular and giant bird of paradise,blue potato tree, bottle brush, clivia, oleander, crape myrtle, bananas, night blooming jasmine, star jasmine, true jasmines, bouganvillia, Hibiscus sinensis, Rose of Sharon Hibiscus, shooting star Hibiscus, perennial Hibiscus, four O'clocks, dalhias, malvas, acacias, pelorgoniums, erodium, passionflower, rice paper plant, gardenias, orchid tree, cry-baby coral tree, justicas, cupheas, coral bush, sweet pea bush, lavener pea vine, powder puff bushes, yesterday today and tomorrow, perennial morning glory,phormiums, pampas grass, palm grass, naked lilies, crimum, bamboo,flame honeysuckle,lion's tail, all citrus except limes, fuchias (although I can not grow them) ficus elastica, ficus nitida, most begonia species, most of the impatiens species,agapanthus,gladiolas, pentas,freesias, geiger tree,Norfolk Island Pine,natal plum, cassia, magnolias, bilbergia and some other bromiliads, clerodenrums,red hot poker, agaves,kangaroos paws, cyperus, papyrus,pride of Madera, gloriosa lily, lantanas, aloes, grevillea, indian hawthorn, many species of shrub salvia, tradensias like puple heart and wandering jew and many tropical succulents like jade plant,kalenchoe and baby sun rose. I have lived in Hawaii and we can grow about 75% of the common garden plants grown there or at least a close relative as a substitute, (pigmy date palm is the only palm that I have grown in both places, but hey, a palm is a palm) We can not grow many "true" tropicals that won't tolerate temps below 50 that I love like plumeria,heliconias, red and pink alpina gingers, ixora and snow bush without a green house, but we can grow so many warm temperate plants from China and Japan like hydraneas and cameleas that it almost seems like an even trade plant wise (but not temerature and scenery wise:) Good luck on your Sacramento garden
