Over here is Raleigh we have the usual suspects
Basjoo
Sikkimensis
Lasiocarpa
Pink Valutina
Ornata
Saba
Cocinea

trying to protect while in ground this winter
Orinoco and Maurelli Enstete

Out by the coast praying hands could probably make it along with the mountain varieties Musa Intinerans, Musa Yunanennsis, and M. Cheesemani

Here is a link to my photo album so you can see it will be easy to create a tropical jungle
