As most of you know I've been in the process of starting a new tropical plant business so I've been working 12+ hours everyday trying to get everything going. The last thing I want to do is fail at something I'm truly passionate about, new businesses are a tough thing but I think I'm going to be alright.
All that aside here's some a bunch of pictures of all my front yard beauties that I overwintered and some new tropical friends to join them. If the neighborhood didn't think I was crazy before, they do now! Hey what ever makes you happy right
So here we go. The first few are to get the general lay of the land and after I'll zoom in on specific specimens.
From right to left. New plants only will be labeled. Three frostproof gardenia's, one tree fern tucked in behind stair platform, 2 large sago's, behind 3 allamanda's in a triangle with a musella lasiocarpa in the middle, a huge 45 gallon double bull needle in back, a ghetto basement overwintered red tiger sikkemensis (top of window 1st floor is 10 feet from ground)
Followed by sabal birm from Gary in NC in front of trachy's, three firebushes around a huge cormed musa velutina, far left in another bull needle (r2d2) with three dwarf oleanders, a yellow angel trumpet, shell ginger and two Huge basjoos which will hit the 14 foot second floor window with no problem along with the red tiger.
Around the corner behind the unprotected nathchez crepe myrtle is a four trunked 65 gal. totally root bound minor (my new baby) followed by six oleanders, two indian hawthorns, one jasmin, six tri color oysters, a totally blue butia, and five newly planted basjoos. My old poor dug up a million times adams needle decided to push up 3 stalks this year next to the butia.
Here's the zoom in pictures of one of the four trunks of the old minor and the two different bull needle trunks. You can see the seeds on one of them but they are one both all the way around the trunks. The minor is pushing up tons of spike too.
Here's a picture of my overwintered hardy pink oleander and new sabal birmingham, my oldest trachy just about five feet of trunk, a good angle at how big the washy fronds are, and a up and coming tree fern with a over wintered (unheated) minor in front.
Thank You All for looking at my giant post,
Many, Many, Hours and Sweat went into making this garden what it is today
Bill
are you sure your not down south some were. 
I remember the pictures of your garage full a few years ago. How much room do you think you'll have this year?
