Kinda funny but it costs me nothing but my time. I have a friend with a facility for the storage of plant bulbs. It works out so that I catch it during the almost empty time of the year. The only down side to me is my trees are gone from home for a while.

As far as penguins in Mexico City - they do have them there. It's called a zoo. You know - a place where all sorts of animals and other living things from all over the world live in exhibits for the education and entertainment of the people who visit.

One could make the same argument to anyone who lives beyond the tropical zone, grows tropicals and has a heated greenhouse. It must cost a fortune - why bother? For the enjoyment of the plant!

Sometimes people push growing zones a little and it works. Sometimes people push zones a lot and it works. I am simply pushing zones a little backwards from the norm.
