Dave,

Great yard and plants. Love the use of the bamboos and bananas to complement your palms and give that real tropical look. I'm going to have to invest in some signs also. Someday I'll get over there and see it in person.

Thanks for the pics

Thanks all...

Don... I keep debating about buying signs. The two you saw came with the plants I got from Justen Dobbs (JD in OC) ... I like the signs when I see them, but people who don't have the illness look at me like I'm crazy when they see 'em!

Dave, that Caryota looks real nice for hot Riverside. Nice work! It's the variety that lacks the black coloration it looks like. Caryota, so confusing.
