🍌 Why Bananas? They are good for you and are fun to grow!
  • 💛 Bananas are berries, not fruits!
  • 💛 They float in water like apples and watermelons.
  • 💛 Bananas are high in potassium, which helps muscles work properly.
  • 💛 They can improve your mood because they contain tryptophan, which your body turns into serotonin.
  • 💛 Bananas are great for your heart because they have lots of fiber and potassium.
  • 💛 Eating bananas can help with digestion since they are rich in fiber.
  • 💛 They are a natural energy booster, perfect for a quick snack.
  • 💛 Bananas can help keep your blood pressure in check due to their low sodium and high potassium content.
  • 💛 They contain vitamins like B6 and C, which are good for your immune system.
  • 💛 Rubbing the inside of a banana peel on mosquito bites can reduce itching and swelling.

💐 What is the best flowering shrub for a shady spot?
  • 🚩 Aphelandra is hands down one of the best solutions for a shade garden where you want to see more colors. It is a great addition to a collectible tropical butterfly garden, can grow into 4-5" tall bushy specimen. Tolerates both sun and shade.
  • 🚩Aphelandras have beautiful lush foliage and showy, long terminal inflorescences throughout the warm season.
  • 🚩These flowers are loved by hummingbirds.
  • 🚩Aphelandra hartwegiana - Yellow Aphelandra. Yellow flowers emerge out of long orange stalks in the fall time. Pretty and unusual!
  • 🚩Aphelandra squarrosa Dania (Snow White) - White Zebra Plant. It is also one of the best house plants, not only pretty because of its white-veined "Zebra" foliage, but also for the apical inflorescence with its beautiful yellow bracts.
  • 🚩Aphelandra sinclairiana - Panama Queen, has extremely tropical look and fragrant flowers of unusual color combination: orange and pink.
  • 🚩Aphelandra x panamensis - Scarlet Candle - a rare hybrid with bright red flowers
