Best bet would be to dig them up and store in winter in a cool but non freezing place to preserve the pstem (Must survive more than one season usually) for blooming if you dont have a warm greenhouse, or large room, but this does not work with all varieties, especially not the Cavendish types (stems die leaving corms), and your summers might be shorter than ours here in Oklahoma. Some types that store well this way with varying degrees of success are Orinoco (Does great), Dwarf Orinoco, Raja Puri, Dwarf Namwah, Musa Icecream. Saba stored well like this too, but I wont see fruit on it, it takes too long, and saba gets huge eventually and probably unmanageable for storage. Here is my tall Orinoco I have fruiting right now at ten feet of stem in zone 7a planted in the ground about April 15th (gets about 20 feet with leaves) that slept under my house bare root last winter at about 45/50F, with no roots, soil, leaves, light, water, etc. (Warning, Orinoco pstems can weigh 100+ pounds, pick a dwarf variety if you have a bad back) It takes about 3 weeks to resume growth in spring, plant the pstem a little deeper the next year to stabilize, and you have to take the time it takes to ripen in consideration for the type you are growing. You have to beat the first frost, and some types take a very long time to ripen, you wont always get fruit due to timing. Its been my experience that Viente Cohol does not overwinter very well indoors, dying back to pot level for me, and re sprouting, and you would need a pretty tall ceiling if you have a mature plant, and very big windows. But it is a short cycle banana, and can fruit and ripen very quickly if you can accommodate it, and worth a try. A banana pstem (visible false stem made of rolled up leaves, like straws inside of straws) will die after fruiting, but the corm/rhizome (The core of the plant) survives and puts up new pups/babies to replace the dead one. With this dig and store method, you get almost instant banana plant, and they look very impressive at about 20 feet (Including leaves) in a couple of months. After six months of storage under the house before planting again.

your occasion is nature. so are the colors of nature or the colors of scenery in the end will be used for the north facing room. understanding the interpretation of all the colors on the color wheel and nature combined. knowing the base color undertones in paint which which happen to be your colors that don't work and knowing how the colors that don't work and why wrong colors don't achieve establish the best color and color outcomes of actual color. negative colors which and are used to create base colors for wall color to work as actual paint. knowing the rooms worst color is the hidden undertone within paint and later creates the perfect colors for the the north facing room. the north facing room enemy is violet, violet is entering as light appearing in the windows and darkening the rooms effect and it's glow is hiding the room's unknown beauty. so blues and greens disobey on walls but play an important role or part in art and color. these odd paint colors of blues and greens as wall paint that clash on walls later are the blue and green in nature and are the color keys to search for in color hiding in paints that said puts whites at they're best. these negative flat colors as keys for searching paints and paint colors that contain them and are useful and are the base colors in beautiful paint or beautiful rooms. using these horrid bases as color alone ruins the room but understanding how they work the way these bad colors work within colors are key to success for a north facing room. these horrid wrong blues grays and violets actually are the base colors that later on the walls become the perfect color for the north facing room. artists use theses horrid colors, colors that don't work as paint colors as your answer for the base color not a wall color but, base color only, which hide in paint and nature and worked together as paint. numerous colors of natures colors combined together form the perfect color for a north facing room. when these horrid wall colors are blended with combinations of color the color becomes the perfect color outcome or unknown color for the north facing room. love winter scenery ? vintage memories ? or winter art? these horrid stand alone colors for wall paint that annoy intensify the violets and don't work yet end up as base colors and hidden within paint are the true color within the color. later these hidden gem colors or base colors color bases work as color to blend decorating and paint together. by surprise like me, you'll find yourself pinning paintings and understudying paint galore;finally you'll be pinning colors like crazy unable to choose the perfect color because you'll find so many. like off whites and beautiful greens and grays. understanding outdoor nature color and base colors are the essential key. key to color works and creates the perfect room that color will encompass your home with warmth and connect your house cleanly while surrounding your house with art and home.. this and understanding violets being the issue and the violet the dominant invisible color of the north facing room. violet a key undertone in every and any form of color we see in nature an enemy and friend the violet light. happy, you'll love your north facing room.

You're going to be so disappointed, aktillery. the painting is titled and signed on the back, but I can't recall either and it's a tricky painting to take down and put up. My father's favorite color is green, and he found this painting I think at a yard sale or something. It has flickers of gold/yellow in it which create a sense of sun behind trees or sun reflecting off of water in a forest. The title also indicates that is the meaning of the painting. When I bought this house, I told my father, as tactfully as I could, that when he bit the dust, I wanted the painting. I also love green and I've always loved that painting. However, being among the most generous and selfless people on the planet, he gave it to me as a house warming gift. I knew what it meant to him, so I gently told him I didn't want to take it from him now, but he insisted. I get a lot of comments on it, mostly confusion. One group of tenants asked me why I have a "big black painting" over my fireplace. Black? It's pretty obvious that it's green! Children are very funny about it because it's a bit abstract for them and doesn't tell a story, per se.

Hi Judy! Thank you for your response! Will Slip look too cold on the wall with the purple? I will go buy a sample- I'm willing to try anything that will "break the code"!
