Beautifully landscaped Braden, the "very choice" African Blues Love you climate, Great Work I see a lot of the "old mans" likes of the "very strong recurved and upright" look of Palms and Cycads has influenced you greatly. Thanks for the great thread Troy. Pete

Ok, I just got out of bed to comment again

Braden, after seeing that Magnificent Macrozamia Macdonnellii, I "Have" to go and see these in their Native habitat in the the "rough n tough" Northern Territory. "Its a Beauty Mate" and I like having dogs that bite too. Pete

Awesome garden, blue cycad do so well in Cali, but that Brahea armata is the bomb!

[Jastin]

Beautiful! I can only imagine the hours put into that, last time I was there it looked nothing like that!

How is your soil? Good old crappy Oceanside stuff? Drainage?

[Brucer]

Amazing garden Troy.

I love the way you travel the world looking at gardens.

You will become a real expert. (If you are not already)
