Howdyall!

Peter (OverGrown) asked me to assist with a score of some big Teddy Bears down in Anaheim at Bluebell nursery.

Of course, yea, though I walk into the den of temptation, I cannot avoid it

And I made some nice scores of my own.

Nice Pinanga Dave, they grow fast!

 

They're not that fast in this climate. That one had a few miles on it, though I lost the tag.

It will make a striking accent somewhere in my dark deeply shaded garden . . .

Peter that's an Actinokentia divaricata, putting out its (spectactular) annual new leaf. Slow as Congress with constipation, but always nice looking (unlike Congress with constipation).

FWIW, I'm surprised by how (relatively) fast these grow. I have two that are 7+ feet tall after 2 years in the ground from small 5gal.
