It's been awhile since y'all have seen my garden pics. All the photos were taken in the early morning hours so the shadows are long and makes it seem darker than it really is.... enjoy.IMG-0659.thumb.JPG.3c6b1917ff0a2797eccc70f1736c6147.JPG

Thanks man, its not a garden anymore it now a jungle for sure, I only took 2/3 of the place and other 1/3 is to hard to take picture of.  I think I have 3 or 4 types of Fatsia each one different from the other.

Wow...fantastic...how in the world do you manage watering?

Pots and containers by hand, once a week or every two weeks, the rest are on micro sprinklers. No way anyone could do this all by hand.  city lot 60' by 120' .

Post some more pics, LOL!  Sorry for the duplicate photos at the end. 

Tree fern is Dicksonia antarctica I really do have to look up to see the top of it. and the one fern in a pot is a tree fern Cyathea atrox.... Only has to be in the 50's for it to start growing.

Impressive garden, thanks for the update! 
B)

Last week, I looked at this plant and forgot about it probably for reasons of it being not worth my effort. This is a VERY nice image, though. What was the name again? Maybe I should take a second look!

Thanks Man!  Glad you enjoy them. 

That plant is Abutilon megapotamicum a trailing vine.  Climbing vine if you stake it up or grow on a palm tree, it can take heat and humidity. Semi drought tolerant.  Very hardy here and during mild winter blooms all winter.  Hummingbird plant.  You should try one low maintenance plant.  Comes in a variegated leaf too. 

15 years old plant.

No problem at all, love questions. lol.  I think around 6 years from a one gallon.  How big are the ones you will be planting?

Yeah same, two 1 gallon plants. I’ve seen some pictures of enormous ovatifolias, when fully grown. Hoping they will handle the wet and cold here. Fingers crossed
