4" of rain in 24hrs picked the EE's up for 2 days-

<a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm22 ... 0_6012.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm22 ... 0_6012.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Even in the horrible summer(for tropicals)we have had,
this Saba has quietly reached 12'-half the damage is from cold and half heat.

The east side of the yard is more protected=good micro-climate!

Sheesh, Jim, gets better each week.

Great photography, especially on the Waggie.

The Washy's my fav.

The new "branches" on that cactus are sooooo cool.

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.

I think the heat and the sun plus water are the best fertilizer ever...
Jim your palms look so healthy! What's happened to the Abyssinian banana? Haven't been seeing it for a while... Agave and yucca plants as well as the rest of the succulents are the eye catching!
By the way my Basijo leaves crashed after a heavy snow fall last night while were not damage after minus 2C.
