My rostrata was hit hard, but really starting to recover now that it is out and the temps are starting to rise. My psitta about bit the dust this winter, MITES!!!, kill them little buggars!!! Anyway, when I was finally able to get it outside, it had died back to the rhizome, but is starting to show some signs of life. I have really enjoyed it as I have had nice blooms on it for the past two years, but afraid not this year.
I also have some sort of heliconia that I received two years ago from another member here, but not sure what it is. It is only about (maybe) two feet tall and has not seemed fazed with growing indoors. I leave it out all summer, wash it down and bring it in during the winter. Have never seen a sign of it trying to bloom, but would love to know what it is... I think I even posted a pic of it on here last summer, but can't remember for sure, since I have slept since then... Oh well....
