Question

In the Virgin Islands we've had a very dry year so far, but this area adjacent to my house is shady, I call it the rain-garden, it catches run-off from several angles, and it gets the water from my shower. The heliconia is a giant kind, I can reach some of the 24" tall flowers but the leaves go up 18' or more. There's an avocado tree and the small sour-orange that the staghorn grows on, as well as the vanilla orchid, the pods are getting even bigger. We're almost overwhelmed by passionfruits at the moment.
