Good price for the size.
And that blue color is fantastic.

Oops! 😳
Nice specimens!
Now you just need a Dioon spinulosum.
It'll outgrow 'em all.
But don't leave it out in the cold like I did...the beggar's burnt, but alive.

Those are some beautiful plants my friend. That last one is Money 😉
I can't wait to see what they look like in five years+ those are some real keepers for your collection.
Nice......

10 inches of rain in a month??? 😯 😯 😯
We MIGHT get that in a year.
spear pulled on my Bizzy
Darn, that is sad!
Maybe put the green Bizzy on the south side of porch to protect it from rain?

You want to hear sad Barb? That nursery that plants the palms for the season by me has a 10' clear trunk bissy. I hope I have a two story garage by then or it's getting chainsawed 😥
Bill

Oh no, Bill!
That nursery would make a 10 foot Bizzy an annual? They must be insane.
Or have too much money.
I almost cried when you said they chainsawed the foxtails and others in the pic you posted.
Imagine...chainsawing a huge Foxtail or a Bizzy.
Oughta be a law. 😈
A two storey garage with a glass roof, Bill.
Attaboy.

Barb,that Bizzy hadn't done shite since I got it,so I wasn't to attached.
At this point,one less thing to protect is fine with me.
