That would be nice. I will be posting more this Spring and Summer.

An excellent place to visit all times of the year. Myra Canyon is located just outside Kelowna BC Canada. https://palmsnorth.com/pics/myra/20230121_150610.jpg Originally built by hand at the turn of the last century. There are 2 tunnels and 18 trestle bridges. https://palmsnorth.com/pics/myra/202301...

That's a great looking tree fern.

I haven't posted in a long time. My Oklahoma cold-hardy palm, I drove to Oregon with a decade ago, and added some new ones at 45oN. No protection at all. Doing well, esp. the Trachy "waggies." I haven't been since August 2021 so rely on my brother for pictures. My SW Florida collection is...

I'm here!

I'll have some updated pics soon. When the weather warms up.

Good to hear. I'm still in Kelowna BC.

Will have to post some of my pics of my plants this spring.

It's been awhile!!

I'm guessing everyone is on Facebook groups now. Would be great to
Revive this forum again.

Yes lots of different trails. I'll definitely have to go back and explore it some more one day. Beautiful place!

Nice little hiking trail in OK Falls with lots of native cactus around. http://palmsnorth.com/pics/peach_cliff/20210402_130735.jpg http://palmsnorth.com/pics/peach_cliff/20210402_130813.jpg http://palmsnorth.com/pics/peach_cliff/20210402_130833.jpg http://palmsnorth.com/pics/peach_cliff/20210402_131...

Wow! Great vid John! Good to see all your palms are healthy and growing. Love the Joshua Tree!

Hi Nick, Sorry for the late reply. Welcome to the forum.

Well I didn't protect anything as usual this winter. I have about four rostratas that didn't make it. My trunking rostrata looks great and my other trunking yucca recurvifolia looks like it will pull through. My baccatas look great as well. I guess I will have to wait and see. All my cacti look good...

Hey Everyone,

I just started a new forum for Jeeps in Northern climates. So if your a Jeeper
it would be great to have you over at http://JeepsNorth.com

Check it out!

Cheers,
Jay

Sorry to hear about your Washingtonia palms! I had a colder winter than usual. Plus lot's more snow.
I'm pretty sure most of my Yucca rostratas are fried.

My biggest one survived so I'm happy about that.

I'll get some pics up soon. Cacti are still waking up.

Great pics John! I like those Rostratas!

Your garden is looking awesome!

Very cool yucca.

Looks good! Love all the flowers.

Love the rostratas Barb. Sorry about your CIDP.

You still have snow!

My kids are sad there is no snow but I'm okay with it.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone.

That would be cool.

The pictures are from Savona and Kamloops BC area. Awesome desert area! It's actually further north than
where I live.

Went on a road trip this past weekend. Here's a few scenic pics. Anyone want to guess the area? http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/jaylatour/Road%20Trip%20September%202014/DSCF6149.jpg http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/jaylatour/Road%20Trip%20September%202014/DSCF6153.jpg http://i802.ph...

I left the picture taking up to my wife so I only got a few pictures of
the usual palms on the strip.

Next time I will take charge of the camera.

Thanks Aaron.

Just got back from Vegas. It was nice and Hot! I'll never get tired of all those palms and cacti.

Hey thanks Edmar. Yes that's a yucca baccata.

Thank you. Happy to share.

Thanks janci and cuja1.

I'm in zone 6.

Here's some Cati and Yucca pics from my yard this Summer. I finally got around to posting them. :) I'm off to Las Vegas in a couple days so I'm sure I will have some more cool pics to post. :) http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/jaylatour/Plant%20Pics%202014/TS00076.jpg http://i802.photobucket....

Great Video.

Thanks Igor. :) Here's another one I did last night. http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/jaylatour/Spray%20Paint%20Art/d1221555-3088-4f48-af88-5428303e4b97.jpg Really nice work. I hope you wear a respirator while doing these. I see people doing similar in Mexico with no protection for hours on...

Have we ever seen that exodus?
Hope your outside rostratas did well this winter.

Barb

Just have three palms, banana and citrus in the garage. I moved the palms outside.

All the rostratas look great so far.

Thanks Barb.

I totally agree. I think everyone needs to travel outside their hometown
and see the world. I love to travel.

I feel your pain, Beny. You got a crapload of snow last year too. Move to BC...we need a few more palm-loving folks to help pay taxes. :lol: Fuel 1.33 here today. You'll be wearing shorts and flip-flops in a few weeks. :wink: Barb I seen lots of people wearing shorts and tshirts all last week here ...

Hey it's Spring time so with bringing the plants outside from the garage I now
have a place to spray paint.

I just made a facebook page for my art.

Nice weather for January.

Only 7c here but I'll take it.

Wow! You have lots of snow Barb. They say 10c on Monday.

I was in Vernon today for work and it was like driving into Alberta.

It was a nice drive back to some sunshine.

I think the rostrata's will survive. They have been through it before. They better
survive or i'll probably cry.

Yeah it was only -2c earlier today when I took the picture. Instead of the -12c it was a couple days ago.
