I spent a few hours at Bobby's on Long Island last night.  Bobby, the burgers, chicken and beer were great.  The hospitality was the best of all.  The garden looks phenomenal.  Keep up the good work.  I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Cen Fla meeting in December.

Real nice garden Bobby.  I like the clean lines, borders, and fresh clean mulch, it really makes the place look manicured.  I like that style.  How'd you get your Hydrangea's so blue?

hai Ray,

nice pictures and iam glad you shared your memories of bobbys

garden.

I wish to make a humble request to you and all members posting pictures to write a note on the verities seen in your pictures.so that new members like me from India & other asian countries will know what they are seeing.since some of your varities are not seen and heard off in indian sub-continent.

I hope to see this feature in all the future postings. & i think iam not asking too much from forum members.  :)

One man one tree..

Love,

Kris (from S.India)

YEA BOBBY!!! you and RAY seem to be having a lot fun, and that yard looks like it could hold a lot of palm trees, bamboo seems to be coming along nice. once it takes off it will get real thick. also your landscape lihgting looks awsome, is that low voltage or 120 volt. the colors are a nice touch, i want to do the same thing in my back yard.    all your palms are diggin the heat and humidity .  also thanks for the posting RAY.

Thanks, Mike.... I really appreciate the complements... Those lights are 120 :( .. I really should do Low Voltage.. much better on the pocket...

An honor meeting me Bobby?!  Come on brother.  I'm just another amateur trying to grow palms just like you.  You're the man having a garden like that in what can be an inhospitable climate.  You're welcome here anytime.  See you in December!

Maybe add a Ficus like benghalensis or macrophylla.With your humidity they should grow banyon roots-add to the ambience the palms create.

Bobby,

Maybe you need two homes, one in New York and one in the Tropics.  Your yard looks great, congratulations.

Bobby:

You really are too modest.  That garden is an epic accomplishment, all considered.  Gawd, waht's the ole lady have to say?  

Ray:

You are the man, for getting the message out.  I'm floored, flummoxed and flabbergasted by your photos.

More more more . . .

Great work on your yard Bobby, now if my wife ever says I'm going overboard on the tropicals (mainly palms) I'll show her your yard.  

Thanks for the ammunition.

I'm just a budding palm and tropical enthusiast :D .  Hopefully in a few years I will have some very nice specimens.  I'll post some pics later.
