Chamaedorea plumosa doing its best impression of a crownshafted palm, with very little encouragement from me. I’m sure this has something to do with our recent heat wave and continued warm weather.

Perhaps for many, but not for us. The leaf bases are typically quite stubborn to remove.

This part of the garden definitely caught my attention after I planted this anthurium, just the pop that spot needed!

Not a palm tree, but our loquat. While the surrounding Cfb zones by the sea are still in their early spring dormancy, my loquat tree began a massive growth spurt around March 15. As you can see in the photo, the velvety, bronze-colored new leaves are already several centimeters long and are sprouting with incredible vigor.

This early start (about four weeks ahead of the regional average) fits perfectly with my nectarine blossoms, which also burst into bloom around March 11 or 12.

Fantastic view, Harry 🤗and a picture that looks like it was painted by Pablo Picasso or some other great artist.

What fascinates us most is that it keeps changing and looks different and great every time—it’s magnificentand. we're glad that you and your wife continue to enjoy it time and again; that's a special kind of appreciation 🤗
