Wow!

Looks great as usual late Summer.

I like how you used the Sequioa corpse.

Also, great Passiflora pics.

Trachy palms getting big!

I doubt it...the vines have overtaken it and have it in a stranglehold headed for the canvas... 😯

The Gloriosa you sent me is also in flower Jim. I thought it was kind of late for that but apparently there on the same schedule still even when there 1000 miles apart..

That's part of my concern though there is no new head or pups showing or even thinking about showing. It did so well the last 2 years I don't want it to kill itself out with out a pup to take over

I was worried about mine too -I thought it would rot over winter with no new growth point but it came the following year.
