About me: I live in Phoenix Arizona and like growing tropical plants and beautiful tropical flowers. I especially love plumerias and have many varieties I have grown from plumeria cutting.
I have also just joined the Arizona branch of the California Rare Fruit Growers club. I'm very excited about going to my first meeting!
It's just amazing how much neat stuff you can grow here in Phoenix. My husband and I moved here from Minnesota 10 years ago and we do miss the Summers there but I have to admit that we don't miss the Winters. (ha,ha) Here is a list some of the plants I have grown here in Phoenix.

Commented: Anyone ever had success w/ traveller's palms here? I had travelers palms once, and boy did they hurt. Too much luggage lifting I think. :)

Commented: Looking for specific Citrus I went on a quest for a Meiwa kumquat about 5 years ago. I finally found it, but not in AZ. I got it at a Nursery in Indio CA.
