Wow, That is just beautiful Jose. Can hardly wait to see your garden. Marnie

Thanks Lamar & Anna, My Lan Wi Kiat came from Richard Button and was very small when I got it (2 years ago) It's grown a couple of feet in that time but stayed fairly full. Like I said, slow, but worth it. Marnie

Tan Wi Kiat. I'm really partial to the spotted, spattered look, and this one really is a beauty..........slow, but very nice.

We have so much to be thankful for on this beautiful Thanksgiving Day. Marnie

My condolences to you & your family Jerry.

And a great time was had by all. I got a couple of crotons. a wonderful Anthurium Pseudospectabile and a lovely Diplazium Esculentum fern. I'm very pleased with getting "Pride of Naples" I loved it since seeing yours planted by your poor Lamar. Yours is a beautiful croton and if I remember...

Thanks for the nice comments Anna. Sorry the pix are so small, I'm working on that. Love that you "Gardening freaks" enjoyed the mulch. You would really love that we mulched the entire front yard. We have such a nice canopy and simply couldn't grow grass there so decided to mulch it a few...

After the rain

Golden Glow (Johanna Coppenger) & Stoplight with Gerry (for scale) He's 6'4" so you can see they are pretty tall in spite of recent cutting and a couple of air-layers.

Looking across my back yard between rain showers today. Plants are loving the rain.
