The climate is so good here - bottle palms and Pigafetta thrive alongside Rhopalostylis ,Leppidorachis ,and Mike even has a few Hedyscepe in his shade house to plant out

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

I must learn to use this same suspensful technique in my next films. :unsure:

I think they all perished actually, so Mike's runt of the group has turned out to be the only survivor and is now looking a treat. Is that the deal Mike ?

Happy Gardening

Beautifully designed garden with lots of eye candy there! Great photos, too. I love the night shots, but from what I've read about Australia, I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to venture out in the darkness! Glad you did it for us! Bravo!

Mike`s garden sure is easy on the eye...and the rock work is a work of art in itself and a real labour of love.

Troy thanks for the vid`s and the shots of this special place..really liked the night shots.

Hey Troy, try import them into Windows Movie maker and cut them or save them as lesser format.

Happy Gardening
