Kim O. commented on Christine Moscinski's group Chicago Gardeners"I just found this site - I've been on a couple FB sites, but find that the 'regulars' are from all over the world, and their advise doesn't always apply.

MIDWEST GARDENING: CHICAGO ILLINOIS ZONE 5 - CHRISTINE MOSCINSKI
Hi! I am Christine a Realtor and Marketing and Internet Pro. I live with my kids, husband, our bloodhound Maxx, 2 adopted cats and 1 adopted cockatoo - YES I AM BUSY!
I live in La Grange, Illinois just outside of Chicago and I lOVE to garden when I have time because it relaxes and calms me.
Also, it's my first time growing domestic exotics (Datura and Castor plant) and I just split and transplanted my old fashioned pink rose to share with my neighbors.
We'll see if they thrive as well as they do in my yard!

Unknown tropical plant
"Interesting, may be a relative, since it has never bloomed. The leaf in the pic is nearly 20" long on nearly a 3 foot stem."

Echeveria
"Yes I am in California. There are only two pots of succulents in the pic, but they are kinda takin over."
