Hi, Is there anyone left on this forum? I know I've been away for awhile but I'm surprised to see so little activity on the board. I'm busy collecting plants again and rebuilding the garden.

I bought this plant at auction in fall. Its now starting to show some nice color. It reminds me of an AFD plant I had in the past but who ever brought it didn't feel comfortable enough to label it. Is it stirring any memories?

One of the few I never tagged. No recollection of where I got it. Scale magnet finally showing promise after a couple years of struggle.

I brought this palm with me from the old place. It lay neglected for 2 yrs in a 3 gal. I planted it last fall & it appears to be getting happy now. I thought it was another oliviformis but Ray came by & thought it looked like pyriformis. I have no recollection of buying this palm so who knows...

I have a large screened pool deck & would like to place some potted plants inside it. Last year I had a terrible gnat problem once the rainy season kicked in & removed them all. Does anyone know of a tried & true fix for this problem? I'd prefer organic for fear of runoff during deluges. I'm at...

Biggest one we've seen yet. My 75# standard poodle wanted to eat it. Glad I don't raise chickens anymore.

I'm curious what other members interests may be in the garden. We all have the common love of crotons but it takes companion plantings to complete a landscape. I'm questioning my logic given the current weather forecast but I recently went on a buying binge. Unlike a lot of you with established...

When I moved in 2014, I thought this was my jungle queen but now I am thinking it resembles another plant in my yard tagged Davis 1. Thoughts?

I just bought this plant on a whim today. Does anyone have any experience growing it? I am in zone 10a in FL. I am hoping it is not prone to our nematodes like most.

Let's see how long she lives. Potted and exposed to low 40s in 2014/2015. Underwatered by me because it was in my pool cage & it needed to be mobile & not muddy up my deck. It got too big for me to handle bringing inside or hardly move. Planted mid Feb 2015 The only thing going for it is..it is...

Nice color on a clump planted april 2014 from 15 gal

Dean, I may be in the minority but many of us use smart phones, mine being galaxy note. Since the transition, the header has become problematic with posting. It cuts off the text box & I have to toggle gingerly to type again or I cant see my text. The main header takes up a 1/4 of my screen.

Is this a draceana draco aka dragon tree? I never tagged it.

Not bad growth when I look back to a year ago.

Lets talk mulch. I have used brown hardwood mulch with miserable results. Weeds galore & they stand out terribly against the dark color. I am leaning toward buying bales of pine needles & would like first hand accounts with experience.

I had this installed april 2014. A field grown specimen from south florida. I knew it had a lean but during the dig to move it up here, the trunked got cracked a bit being dug up. I knew it happened but made the decision to plant it regardless. Well, it's weeping black gunk now & throwing short...

This one is Phil's if he deems it worthy. Now that a plumeria above it defoliated, it's getting good sun & pinking up. It reminds me of some of the poinsettias I am seeing in the stores.

I lost the tag but this is currently my favorite ti.

I've had this for about 6 yrs. I asked yrs ago if anyone knew it's ID to no avail. It's about 6ft now & grows in a very rounded shape.

Well, I finally have my first newborn at the new house. I suspect I may have weeded previous sprouts or the dogs squashed them. I was happy to find this after spending the day spraying organicide for scale. My neighbors were traveling for turkey day so I didn't feel bad about the fishy smell...
