A few photos from today........

Post by TimMAz6 » Sat Jun 11, 2011 7:07 pm

I do have a couple other plants which are not Yuccas....LOL

Lily pads in the pond are starting to bloom

Bill gave me a black Ty banana.....thought it was dead.....today I noticed it decided to grow! Look close......get your microscope out!

Yucca blooms are growing:

Wollemi Pine top growth point died but is bursting out a few inches below the top:

Spotted this native orchid growing at a new job site.......can you say bulldozer? Too bad.

Tim,
Amazed at how those yuccas are growing...some great flower pics coming up!

Lily pads look good; I tried them last year to provide protection for the goldfish from the Blue Heron, but our pond has considerable swings in water level (used for irrigation) and the lily pads died. So disappointing.

Nice to see the Wollemi putting out new shoots; how did the top get killed? winter? bugs?

Great pics, thanks.

Hi Barb,

The Wollemi Pine top bud was hitting the greenhouse film during winter.......probably got too cold? Unless the snow load pushed down to hard.

That makes sense as the culprit, Tim.

Looks good Tim, glad to see the thai's alive, that was in the garage too right? If it dies I'll give you a six foot one to try out.

you should try and stop by this week after work if you get out before dark. Lol.

Talk soon,
Bill

Very nice. I have always wanted a pond with a few frogs. Those yuccas look stellar.
