In Subtropical areas, summer is very long, hot and often rainy; winter is very mild, usually without frost or freezing temperatures. In most areas of the US these conditions can only be met in greenhouses, conservatories, or indoors; in the warmer areas of the Southern Tier and Western states, these plants can flourish outside.
The textures and colors of these beauties, and the flavor and fragrance of their blooms and fruits, can bring the heady taste of summer to a dreary winter day. Enjoy!
