Orchids are one of those plants that look hard to grow, but if given the proper conditions they are unstoppable. Same with Anthuriums - they look as if they couldn't last through any kind of a dry spell - but do amazingly well.

Are those Sabal mauritiiformis???

I have found the secret to using white vinegar as a weed killer is to use it on the small newly sprouted weeds. Don't let them get to big or established. If used on mature weeds it may temporarily kill the or burn the foliage, but it won't kill the entire plant. But, if you use it when the...

Are you familiar with "Acai?" If not, Google it. But don't take my question as an okay to eat those. However, they may be tasty.

I have many in filtered light and they seem to bloom fine. Maybe not as profusely, but the foliage is lusher - so still an attractive plant. My observations are the amount of flowering directly corresponds to the amount of sunlight - but they will still throw out some flowers in fairly deep shade.

Bren, my condolences on your lost. But as they say in surfing, "You never know, unless you go."

Sounds like quite the adventure - a modern day frontiersman. Thanks for the pics - we love pics. I never knew that about the Acoelorrhaphe wrightii - interesting though, as this palm is one of those that can tolerate salt water as a live plant as well. The reason I was in Belize many years ago...

I was in Belize in 1975 for a couple of weeks - inland, not too far from the Guatemalan border. I remember there were a lot of Mennonites there. This was before I was very interested in palms and tropicals. But I remember that it is a perfect environment for exotic plants. Where are you located...

I believe this is the same plant. It had those bulbous petioles when it was younger. This plant has been in this location for about 13 years, and was the size of the plants in the first photo of this thread when purchased. I had not really paid much close attention to it, but see that is has...

The only thing I've seen kill these, and I have seen it twice, was something affecting the bulbous base and having termites/ants move in and/or a rot develop. So keep an eye on the bottom part for any weak or mushy parts developing.

Scott - if I remember correctly, wasn't Lake Havasu in your plans? Leaving a garden like yours would be difficult.

A little late on my promise to post some photos, but better late than never. Here are three different Calatheas that have pretty much turned into weeds. All of these are from bits and pieces that fell on the ground from removing larger plants. Don't get me wrong, they are pretty, and two of them...

Lush and tropical for sure. You wouldn't know it was the end of winter. Some questions: - how much property do you have? - and how old is your garden?

BTW - where has the MooseMan been? Anybody know?

That's the way it is suppossed to be - so you can always access the navigation links without scrolling back up to the top each time. I can make the photos smaller so they won't be hidden. But you should have an option to view full size - which should fit to your screen within a "light box."

When you say "bar" - do you mean the header?

Don't know what you mean Stan. FF allows Flash. But you have to have the current and updated versions of both.

That's some great stuff Ana. Amazing collection of colors and textures. I had to look through three times, and will come back for more tomorrow.

Looks like a winner Stan. Phoenix have to be one, if not the most promiscuous, palm genus. It looks like yours has the best of both parents - the softness of the P. rupicola, and the clustering robust growth of P. reclinata. I saw a large one of this hybrid (supposed) and it was very...
