Stretching the Boundaries

In response to Danielle's post 'Outside my Zone':
Isn't it great to accomplish something that 'they' said couldn't be done?  To push the limits?  Kelly has actually tried to overwinter both a palm and a banana plant in our garden - with no success.  However I don't think he's completely given up on the idea.  This year I had a wonderful surprise.  The agapanthus that I planted in 2006 decided it was time to bloom!  The same year we also planted triteleia which has been blooming faithfully ever since.  Both of these are zone 7.  The packages said lift in fall and we didn't, so I threw away the tags over that winter.
