Okay, after I grow some flax, I'd like to try papyrus. I guess I can't grow it as a perennial in Zone 7 but can it be grown as an annual? Will it grow fast and reach its full potential in my zone or will it not grow properly at all?

I think it gets pretty hot and humid here in Indiana although I'm comparing this area to where I lived previously (Buffalo, NY) and sitting between two Great Lakes was always pretty comfortable. Sometimes I think the heat and humidity here is killer. I'm told by folks who know warmer climates that it's not THAT bad.
I fell in love with the look (and size) of papyrus, ttytt, but that one is pretty close. The propagation is interesting. The only thing I'm slightly worried about is the bog conditions both plants like. I guess I'm going to have to set up a plant pond.
Now that I *would* try. I have been a papermaker in my past and wouldn't mind trying some papyrus paper. Might be fun. Even if I only got a teeny bit of paper out of it.
Thanks, Emilie!
