Hey, just a few random spring pics:
First a sparse looking banana, palm, and canna planting... Hopefully it fills in a bit...

Sclerocactus spinosoir:

And a few new plants about to go out:

Barb, I'll get a shot of the rostrata asap!

Thanks! It's the first time it's bloomed and I was really impressed with the number and colour of the flowers!

Again, I will post more pics when I have a chance to take some shots!

Paul very nice. Did you use any protection for the Trachy and Needle palm?

John, They were both given 6" or so of mulch and wrapped with frost cloth. That's it! Our low was -23C but we had almost a full month with temps below freezing!
