In my attempt to create a tropical-themed backyard, I bought several tropical plants including hibiscus, kentia palms, spathiphyllums, and bromeliads. Hopefully they will grow in this crazy Ohio weather. Goodluck to me!

That waves in summer air;
Its blossoms have the mightiest power
To soothe my spirit’s care.
