Nice casti flowers! I was in South Texas last weeked and hoped to see some but alas too early for them to bloom there.

And indeed, that is the oddest Chamearops palm I've ever seen a photo of!

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

That was the craziest med-palm I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing, I also liked the blind prickly pear (O. rufida? I think), the ones with no spines and yellow flowers.

And of course everything else looks awesome! 8) 8) 8)

So when are you headed home, or are you moving? :)

Love the crazy Chammy and the J-Tree.
Both must be sooooo old.

No surprise you've worn out your bike :lol:

Never get tired of the vistas and geology.
Incredible beauty.

Bet you've got quite the haul to take home with you. :wink:

Nurseries would have trouble competing with what people already have in their yards.

Are you getting excited about your return trip?

Not really.....I hope my plants are still there :roll:

I do have some new ones too-I think once I get going in the yard
again I will be happy to be home....I do feel the pull to go home becoming stronger though 8)
