That is simply amazing, I never even knew Dypsis 'ovobontsira' pumped out red like that. Looking lush down there Mike.

Have the kids been using up the internet allowance Daryl ? This will frustrate a lot of people on palmtalk wanting to see your garden updates.

Happy Gardening

You know that you can log out and login back as you, Mike :). Or Daryl is actually posting the photos??

BTW, the garden is coming along... You should take photos of the new addition of the garden. And the Dypsis 'ovobontsira' Dark Mealybug is nice.. I didn't know they had red new growth.

Nothing wrong with my internet Ari, it's just that Daryl can download more photos in fewer posts than i can. Thanks Wal, the garden is looking good at the moment especially with all the rain/showers we're getting....lets see how it looks after winters past!...Cheers Mike Green(NEWCAL)

Also Mike, I think your "robusta" is what Dransfield has said is "tokoravina". Its that grouped leaflets thing.

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 don't recall Bill to be perfectly honest, looks great. That means that mine should be turning this colour next new leaf, kind of bronzy last time.

Happy Gardening

That toy looks unused Mike, plants going very well indeed, excellent job on the rock walls.

Have you finished planting for now ? I think I have, might drop one or two in today then wait for warmer weather.

Can we borrow your new toy to dig up our pond?? LOL. BTW, Scott was impressed with your dry-stack wall. He only has one question though, how do you keep it from collapsing??
