I like your white lantana! I don't think I've seen any whites here (southern US).

Stunning color! I planted my first acer in the fall. I hope it will be as lovely as yours.

Maple, I actually bought this as a bit of a joke. As it turned out, my little dog loves it. I keeps her warm and attracts lots of attention which she craves!

Thanks, Maple. This is my favorite Asiatic and my very first one. It was a gift from a friend and I hardly expected it to live since I knew nothing about lilies. It survived, multiplied and is more lovely every year.

I love Virginia Creeper, but it tends to be too invasive here (Southern USA). Our warm climate and humidity make it very vigorous. Yours is beautiful.

I think lilies do well in most of the U.S. They are very plentiful in the South where I am. We grow all kinds here, but I only have Asiatics and Orientals. I am not familiar with the red lily beetle so that must be a critter not well suited here (thankfully!). I used to have a problem with squirrels eating the bulbs, but I've finally learned to cover all my bulbs with chicken wire and about 2" mulch to keep them from digging them up.

Thanks, Majeekahead, Spritzhenry & Nannydigit! I guess I didn't expect such a prompt response and I really appreciate it. I looked at pics of both suggestions and I think it probably looks more like the Cibotium schiedei. I've already moved it to the bathroom for better lighting and more humidity. I'll repot it very soon and look forward to watching it thrive.
Yes, I am in the U.S. -- Atlanta, GA.
Thanks again!
