Hey Jim, I remember that early photo.What year was that?Very cool to see it again.And look at it now...wowsers.Barb

ice station zebra :lol: :lol: A shiver went down my back when I saw the winter pics.Barb

Points well made, Jim.I always thought a T-3 was way too warm...we were trying to get a Trachy more hardy after all.Not keep it from ever seeing freez...

You'll be thrilled with how they respond to GH lighting.

Nice, Mike. Congrats on getting a GH.The seedlings will do well in there.Barb

Nope, not gonna hurricane cut it.Watered the hell out of it...no water since last September.Going to hold off checking whether trunk/spears are mushy....

50cm of soil versus using the top 5 cm...hmm, that's interesting, John.Hopefully the public continues pressure on government to compel labelling of GM...

Hoping the big Trachy makes it Chad.All in all, considering the last 2 winters for you folks, little damage.Fingers crossed on the sick ones.Barb

Wow to the size of everything.And that it isn't half dead. :lol: Barb

Great photos of what the sun tube does, Scott.John, I visited a friend who recently renovated his "middle of the house bathroom" which had no windows....

John, I think you have to go through ALL the ceilings of your house to get that bird of paradise inside. :lol:

Love the sun tube idea!

Nice!Sure getting some size to them :D Barb

John, my BoP hated being in the cold building every winter, and never bloomed.Despite fertilizing late summer in other years, its first time blooming ...
