Three Washy filifera still trying to push fronds:

At beginning of winter, the CIDP showed some orange spots, obviously needed Potassium, so it got Epsom Salts and 0-0-44.
Seems happier now even though soil is cold.

Trachies from John are really nice.

Come to think of it, got the 3 W.filifera from John too! :D

A few pics of misc. stuff:


This Bamboo palm just keeps on growing and growing and flowering and flowering!

I've forgotten how old this Geranium is, but it flowers winter, spring, summer!

Chinese fan palm: Almost lost this to hot dry desert winds this summer ("somebody" put it on the west side of building!!!!!), but it's coming back.

Have moved a few Trachies outside into the mild weather.
Others are too heavy, they'll have to wait for spring.

Thanks for the visit!
Barb

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
