a couple Aloe ecklonis seedlings sitting at my work's window sill........photo taken a few minutes ago. Thanks Cameron! The other seedling is a Yucca aloifolia. The larger pot just outside of the photo has a Trachycarpus 'Korea'. Anyone growing that?

Nice work Tim.
Couldn't find any mature pics of A. ecklonis...fairly rare?
Oooh, never heard of a T.Korea...how about moving the camera over to the right? 😆
Found this pic: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRBV0dH8b3da_0LSNt7XTM0_n80IY7C_2_E_d_xQmugRCqU57W4SCJ_6p1TzA
Let me know if you find a T. siberia...

Great job, Tim!
Barb, A. ecklonis is a relatively uncommon Aloe from high altitudes in the Drakensberg mountains. It is supposed to be fairly hardy.

My Korean Waggies crapped out during the WSM eradication period.

I'm hoping the sun in my office will speed up the growth in winter.

Here's a couple photos of the Trachycarpus waggie 'Korea'.
Not much to look at yet.

Looks like a very robust palm Tim.
What chewed on the leaves? grasshoppers?

Hi Barb,
I wish. My 'grasshoppers' have long ears, like to eat carrots (at least on cartoons) and multiply by the 1,000's in my neighborhood. Some people claim they leave big footprints in snow like this:
Can you say RABBITS!

oops forgot about your bunnies. 😆
Despicable that people have released pet rabbits.
You'd think that they would've learned something called cause/effect from feral cat issues. 🙄

Will be fun to watch them grow up Tim.
We must have a good cat population around here....
I may have seen a rabbit one time in my yard in many years.......
maybe the squirrels eat them-there are a lot of those.

Excellent waggie palm there!
As for rabbits, my dog chases them away.

we also have a few chipmunks living in the stones around my koi pond. Do they eat plants too?

Rabbits dont come into the city here.... And no chipmunks dont eat plants, they like seeds and nuts .
The rabbits in calgary are huge. The size of beagles!
