All that's missing is a lawnchair in that tropical paradise.
You're well on your way: less and less weeds the taller your stuff gets.

But P U H L E A S E take those 2 Licuala indoors.
They're far too beautiful and valuable to risk.

Great pics.
Barb

Great pics Jim. I really like the desert and the jungle you got there.






John

WoW!

Barb


The only plants I brought in were a Diffenbachea,Orchid,some of the small
Pachys and the L.Grandis-the low temp was 37F(@6')...about 41F a foot off the ground.

Thank goodness it wasn't as cold as predicted.

How are the L.Ramsayi and Fishtail looking this morning? And the tall Pachy lamerei?

Glad you brought the L.Grandis indoors.

Barb

They are fine,the newest leaves on the Pachy get some pin hole damage but thats about it.

Good to know.
Bet you slept with one eye open...

Lots to see there! Can't comment on all, so I'll pick one: Sabal "Lisa." Didn't know you had any. Where did you get those?

Anytime I got up,I checked the temps.

It was apparent by the time I went to bed that the warm ground
was going to keep the temps from bottoming out.

At sunrise I watered everything,the water from the hose is still around 70F


Eric

I got those from a guy in Mississippi,I think I sent Bill some too,not sure
if he has those at home are in Fla.
