Hi Jana, If you feel like going for a drive, up here in Globe we have a lady who grows seedlings every year and sells out of her greenhouse. She has lots of different, unusual varieties of vegetables and herbs, especially tomatoes and peppers. There's an article about her with all the info at the link below. In case you don't know, Globe is out highway 60 (Superstition Highway) about 80 miles east of Phoenix. It's a pretty drive once you get out of the valley. If you come up you might also want to stop in Superior at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum. They're having their Spring Plant Sale March 10 - 26. They don't have veggies but they have desert herbs, flowers, and landscape plants. Their site is at http://arboretum.ag.arizona.edu/index.html. Good luck!

Musa Aeae does not produce seeds.This is a hard banana to find.And if you do its going to cost you some $$$$. Look for any nurserys online in Hawaii.That is the place where they come from.

Thanks azalyssa, that is a great suggestion. Will give it a try. Would be attractive. Will tell a neighbor also.

Which seed exchange do you speak of? Might they have datura wrightii (the one I used to see growing around Tucson), datura metel, and datura inoxia seeds? I used to see wrightii blooming in the evenings when I would go for runs at Catalina State Park in the late 90's. They had such a presence to them. I miss them greatly and figure why not try growing them and bring them in for the winter. I live in southern WI. Thx, Sonora
