Josef, I dig the low angle shots, makes the palms all look bigger! Do you have any from normal standing height so we can get an idea of how large the palms are?
What was your low this winter?

Outstanding specimens, Josef.
Your Washingtonia came through winter with not a mark on it. Very beautiful!
And that Jubea...wow!
I'm so envious of your winter temperatures...we hit -27 C, a very long and cold winter this year.

10 or 11 leaves a year is wonderful!!!! Well done!
I hope mine will perform so well soon.
I see more palms in pots in the background of that picture.
Are you planting them this Fall? or next Spring?
Very beautiful, Josef, as always.

Josef,
Your weather must be mild, because deciduous trees are still holding leaves.
A few years ago, you were interviewed on Czech TV to show your winter protection.
Please post the video link so we can see it again.
You have THE most beautiful property display and specimens!
Thanks for the update.

Amazing is right!
I tell myself, I could grow plants like that if only I lived as far south as you do. Oh wait, I live south of you. Well, you live by the Ocean. No, wait, you are as far from the Sea as I am. I have no excuse; must build my skills....

Do you do it all yourself?
I would love to see pics of your protection in winter too.

Simply jaw-dropping gorgeous, as always.
Feel the same way as Erik re the latitude and exposure.
I remember looking up Prague and wondering why the hell I couldn't do the same thing.
Then I saw a document that says the Eastern Pacific Ocean/Western half of North America is COOLING.
And I've lost enough valuable plants to not try more.
I'll just enjoy your pictures, Josef.
Remember when the TV station interviewed you, Josef???? about winter protection????
Do you still have the video link?
And there was a newspaper story too.
Didn't matter that I don't speak your language...your garden was beautiful to see!
