Great shots! Your best yet.
I'll post photos soon of my Manzanita palms.
No cold weather there, or in Tulsa, either. In fact, this weekend Oklahoma will have highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s! :D

Great pics, your yard is has had a awesome growing season. Looks like you need more real estate to plant in.

Amazing to me that your Cooperi comes back like it does, especially after our Winter last year.

Never left a cooperi out didn't think it would come back. Would love to try a dicksonia with a bit of trunk I really think they would come through with out many problems but I cant find any!

Great stuff! Are your passiflora in the ground overwinter? I love the smell. I got plenty of tasty fruit this year from mine. Still have a lot ripening.

Erik

I usually bring in the
Agave when it hits the low 20s..this year everything will be covered by Monday or else :|


Mike

First year with the Passion flower,going to leave it in and see,I pulled a sprout with roots n case.
I was surprised the foliage took 24F the other night with zero damage.
