Thanks Cassandra, I have heard of them, now I know the name but pretty sure I haven't seen one. They prob won't grow here because of the winters, alot of tropical and subtropical plants won't grow here because the frosts knock them back. Some of those things will grow up North where the winters aren't so harsh.
Mind you it has it's plus side too, is prob why we don't have any nasties like snakes, is just too dang cold for them. In fact we don't have much in the way of dangerous animals at all. the most dangerous animal we have is a wild pig and that's only because Europeans introduced them into the wild when they first came here.
