Woman grows banana tree in town
The Journal interviews a woman who has succeeded in making a banana tree grow in her Montreal garden. It’s rather more startling than another recent story about a guy whose sunflowers grew to be 12 feet tall.

There are some sunflowers on the corner of Drolet and de Castelnau (city curb extension) that are approaching that height.

That is very impressive. My landlord planted some canna lilies next to the sidewalk in front of our place and they are now seven or eight feet tall. We get a lot of people stopping in front to take photos (some of whom mistake them for banana trees).

I got my hollyhocks to over six feet tall this summer, and I saw occasional people in the alley stopping to admire them, although they were generally more interesting to bees than to people.
