Just a Mule in the night

[DAVEinMB 1,274]

Just a night shot of one of my mules. This one was root bound when I got it and was in need of some love. I also moved it 3 months after initially planting it but it seems to finally be settling in. Picture of it in the pot is from early September 2019.

Love the vibe back there. Are those benches just cinder blocks and 4x4's? Really dig the look. Looks like an outdoor tropical bar back there.

Thanks man! Yep that's all it is, was a quick afternoon project. The bench wraps around the fire pit and all around the patio i densely planted palms to give the jungle feel when you're around the fire.

That's a whole atmosphere. Dumb question but any issues with the palms and smoke?

Quick question...I'm assuming the concrete blocks are mortared together for stability?

They're supposed to be haha, we weren't sure if the bench was going to stay where it is so we left them free standing. Surprisingly enough has only taken down one person so far

What camera/phone are you taking pics with?  My phone sucks at night shots.  

Is that a papyrus in front of the mule there?

It's the Samsung S21+

It's got a great camera, I didn't edit any of those photos. 

Yea it's a clump of Cyperus Alternifolius, it's tripled in size in a year's time and has given me many additional plants
