The Garden of BS Man - Image Gallery

Featured Replies

I stopped by Bill's (BS Man) garden today in Oceanside, CA. Not only is the curb view starting to get phenomenal, on closer look it's pretty amazing what kinds of gems he has growing in there.

Thanks Bill for the tour; it's gonna be a jungle!

Here it is in full Pandovision™ makeover - enjoy! :)  

(I numbered the images so hopefully Bill comment on some of them).

Thanks Bill!

WOW! Thanks Ando for my my place look pretty amazing! You certainly have an eye for photography as that bitty little camera you had almost looked like a disposable! 

But you called most of those great shots... and the triangle pattern on the tri-bear turned out great.. 

 

Thanx for stopping by... somehow I almost feel like I should have paid a fee... :blush:

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!

Boy Bill, the garden is looking GREAT! Looks like you've been working hard in that yard of yours lately.

The photos are great too.

Thanks Tim!,

Considering we had a decent Santa Ana going and was about 88F and 10% humidity and 15mph breezes, Ando sure made it look great.

Thanks Bill!

Bill you look like an admiring father!  You have a veritable Oceanside jungle going there.  Nice selection of palms and companion plants.  Ando, great work in some challenging lighting and conditions with this entire gallery!

Another great tour, Pando! You've got me wondering who's next! Maybe Doomsdave? MattyB? Dorian Ouer? Only time will tell!

BTW... don't think I am up to typing 100 descriptions... if something catches your eye, let me know, I'll try to ID it. :)
