This summer, in our display greenhouse, we are going to
present an “animal” garden to go along with the opening of our
children’s garden. I’m looking for tropical plants with
animal names. I’ve got teddy bear palm, foxtail palm, bat plant,
panda plant…there must be more. Isn’t there? I’m
just not familiar with common names.
Thank you for any help you can offer. Also, and I’ve
asked this question before but my new computer didn’t accept any
favorites files apparently. There is a nursery for very unusual tropical
plants that has been mentioned on this site before. Does anyone have a
favorite tropical plant nursery that they use and like?
