Finally starting to warm up. What a slow, delayed spring this year. But it's time to look forward to the summer and not get upset about a spring that you can't control. Here are some pictures.

My windmill palms are starting to really push the fronds out again.

Planted this hibiscus today.

Castor beans for Jim! 🙂

Magnolia grandiflora '24 below' is progressing nicely after enduring its first Wisconsin winter.

Cannas after being killed back to the ground last month from a 29 degree freeze.

Elephant ears putting on size.

I have musa basjoo, musa orinoco and musa sikkimensis in here.

Ensete maurelii, musa thai black, musa orinoco and musa dwarf cavendish in this area.

Papayas that I grew from seed this spring.

Amorphophallus konjac is almost finished leafing out.

Mandarin orange is gaining good size.

This lemon should begin turning yellow soon. It seems to be nearly full size.

Overall shot of the yard.

Thanks for looking!
