I have these really big 4" purple alliums that grew in my garden last year. Would yo be interested in a trade for some night blooming jasmine and basil. Are the peas edible? Please e mail me at cadaverknee@hotmail.com if you are interested! Thankyou Mary

The hybrid Anthuriums with the showy flowers (A. andraeanum types)are really variable in cold tolerance. Some will melt below 45F others have made it into the low 30's. Interestingly enough, one hybrid that seems more cold tolerant is 'Arizona'. There is a line of hybrids from the Netherlands named after US states and he have grown several of these. 'Nevada' also has grown well. We also got an Anthurium called 'Lazarz' from a south FL grower, its a large bird nest type.This will be it's 2nd winter outdoors. Another Anthurim we have grown for years outside is A. watermaliense, the Black Anthurium. It has been down to 27F with just some leaf burn though it is in a shady, wind-protected location so it probably a few degrees warmer. We have quite a few Anthuriums out for trial. We had some donated that were wild collected from Ecuador and Venezuela but unidendtified. These froze down after the 27F freeze but most grew back from the roots. Eric Orlando,FL z9b/10
