Beautiful spot! The Pothos Ivy makes a great accent for the palm trunks.

Keeping my garden simple is one of the greatest challenges I face in gardening. I'm always wanting to find room for some new treasure I've discovered while all the while knowing big masses of like textures makes viewing the garden easier on the eyes.

Goodness, Tom.   VERY beautiful.  Looks rather similar to what I remember Dr. Young's place looking like.

I gotta come see you--if you think you can stand it ....

You'll likely find me at home then.

Bit of the old Dutch courage hey ?

Will you consider putting your general location details in your signature ?

I pester people about this. Ask me why ?

Oh and welcome aboard this board.

Happy Gardening

dear Palmateer,

the 1st picture of you post is beautiful and i think the huge trunks seen in that picture is of sabal sp.? kindly show their top(sabal leaves).i love those palms.and the plants spread across the soil,we call them money plant it is believed that more of it in the garden will bring to its owner emence wealth.

these plants are climbers if you allow them to attach to tree trunks their size will increase in ratio to the height they climb.

in my garden they have reached the top of neem trees and have sent out roots that grow downwards. it will appear like a tarzans jungle. try this first in one trunk of your palm,i hope you will like it !

One man one tree...

love conquers all..
