Inside...the Fiddle leaf Fig is really fun,
I cut it back this year and it still grew 2'

The main plant died back but those suckers live on.

C.Cerifera

And just like the 2 Needle palms/I have one Cerifera that is a clumper and one full plant.
That tiny little partial leaf on the petiole is where it recovered from S-pull.

The other guy,he don't get no respect!
Princeps 2-first rule of government spending,why have one when you can have 2.

This guy either barely retains some foliage or comes back from the base...5 years now!

Another little Tesan..this guy spear pulled maybe 6
times(maybe once from the cold) in 5 years but is finally coming back.

Moved the Protoamericana up to the front this year

I am starting to fall for this Butia(not just because its in the way either),its getting a nice shape and needs a (2x)bigger home this winter!

<a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/user/orbea6 ... b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm22 ... b84f9b.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 100_7656_zpsc6b84f9b.jpg"/></a>

The Washy's back

I hope these guys get in each others way but I think the Washy will not be involved..as it will lift off next year.

Takil,Butia,Washy.

Looks like it's end of March at your place. :| (I'm just jealous)

Great shots through the fronds with the sun opposite.

Amazing that palms that pulled 6 times are still going strong.

That Washy IS still growing
:D , that Butia is gonna get a lot of shade soon.
