John's Annual Visit

Post by lucky1 » Thu Sep 01, 2011 12:11 pm

...and MY camera was actually dead during the palm tour.
Damn.

But the beer is always good when shared with friends.

AND....DRUMROLL!!!! NEWS
John and Lillian got engaged last weekend (he probably wouldn't mention it, so I will).
Their wedding is in 14 months.

PS--are you still talking to me, John? :geek:

Good photo!

Those bottle palms look fabulous.

I'm glad you had a little time for yourself this week. Enjoy!

Thanks Erik.
BTW, Bottle on left and Spindle on right.

Yes, it's sure good to have a bit of downtime.

Thanks--missed that Hyophorbe distinction.
Anyway, John's a handsome guy; bet he doesn't mind be photographed. :D

Take care, drink more beer. :occasion5:

John just sent a couple of pics....

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/6104946476/" title="139 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6090/610 ... 41650d.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="139"></a>

And here's the proud ole' owner of the ole' Trachy...
As Miss Piggy would say "C'est moi"... :lol:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/6104946466/" title="138 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6210/610 ... a55f27.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="138"></a>

As always, the beer (trash) talk was even better than the palm (trash) talk. :wink:

Hi Barb,

it's great to see you next to your big Trachy. Your Trachy looks even bigger with you next to it! Thanks for sharing.

Yup, especially now that Lillian said YES to his marriage proposal... :D

I bet your Trachy princeps seedlings will do better than mine...

And thanks for the systemic...I'll have time to apply it in about 10 days.

Thanks for making the trip north.
