The Missus and me were the guests of an early morning walkabout at Bill's abode. My kind of garden! Where else (on this planet) can you find amongst his myriad of palms...a phone booth!? And a barber's chair...and a gas pump...and an industrial drinking fountain? So what if there's a coupla weeds! This yard definitely has S-O-U-L. I felt at home here (minus the stray weed or two) as Bill blazed a trail throughout the jungle, ruminating on all of prized palms and cycads. What he's shown us here on the forums only scratches the surface of the potential of his yard. My jaw is still aching from all the "OMG's" I was throwing about. The OCWS there is sublime, a plant that belongs in the Louvre. Bill, thanks bro! I know you said don't go photographing certain areas but really, how can you deny the members a sneak-peek at those two spots in the back, hidden from view. I'll take my lumps but here they are folks, BS's secret projects!

Actually Thank You Greg.

I was having sleepless nights everytime I photoshopped the weeds and pots over what I really have in the back yard.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

You are correct Sir!

But what exactly IS the bill for a Sham-wow?

Wow Gonz really is a good guy. It's hard to photograph Bill's in the right light but Gonz pulled it off superbly.
