Wow!

Looks great as usual late Summer.

I like how you used the Sequioa corpse.

Also, great Passiflora pics.

Trachy palms getting big!

I remember you mentioning planting some vines on it a while ago....
I didnt want to ruin the surprise....

TerdalFarm · Post by **TerdalFarm** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 9:47 am

You may able to use it again next year.

I have done the same thing myself in the past.

I doubt it...the vines have overtaken it and have it in a stranglehold headed for the canvas...

Absolutely the best time of year when plants look perfect

bananieru · Post by **bananieru** » Wed Sep 03, 2014 8:12 am

beautiful as usual

The Gloriosa you sent me is also in flower Jim. I thought it was kind of late for that but apparently there on the same schedule still even when there 1000 miles apart..

hardyjim · Post by **hardyjim** » Thu Sep 04, 2014 7:35 am

Really happy to hear that Mike ............

guess my 3 headed one here will be a 4 headed one next year...

miketropic · Post by **miketropic** » Fri Sep 05, 2014 1:23 am

That's part of my concern though there is no new head or pups showing or even thinking about showing. It did so well the last 2 years I don't want it to kill itself out with out a pup to take over

hardyjim · Post by **hardyjim** » Fri Sep 05, 2014 6:44 am

I was worried about mine too -I thought it would rot over winter with no new growth point but it came the following year.

Awesome, looks like you had a great growing season.

hardyjim · Post by **hardyjim** » Thu Sep 11, 2014 7:10 am

Almost 10" of rain in the last 3-4 weeks
