Our tropical plants and over-wintering

The tropical plants from the front of the school had been safely tucked away all winter in one of the school polytunnels.  With the frosts almost passed, we will be looking to plant them out soon.  They certainly look like they have not only survived the winter, but are ready to go outside as they are looking strong and healthy.  Our banana plants are showing new growth, and the Aloe vera seem to have almost doubled in size.   The tropical bed itself is looking wonderful.  The larger banana plants which had to be left in situ have been unwrapped and are also showing new growth.  And as we now have so many lilies to fill any gaps, it will be an amazing show in that bed this summer.
