Awesome pictures. You are talking some serious protection for the Washy come November. C. Cerifera is a beautiful color. It looks peaceful in your tropical paradise.

I am still in shock that those tree ferns came back..with just mulch I think you said before?

Thanks Chi palm.

Very pretty color on the Cerifera,the smaller one may even have brighter blue on it.

The T.Ferns are protected with styro Rose covers and heated with X-mas lights/Thermocube turns them on @... 35F off @ 45F

Awesome pics as always Jim! Your yard is looking so lush and full. Love the washy and glad to see the t. ferns making a great recovery and the trachys getting fuller and fuller. The cacti and succulents look great too.

I think everything really starts growing their fastest this time of the year! You never know when you'll see something surprising in the yard this time of the year.

Thanks for sharing!

Yea for sure Alex...

We are basically right at the mid-way point of the season for most stuff.

I have found all kinds of surprises this year,from some kind of Y.Gloriosa
sprouting up 20' away from the other one in the cactus bed-too about
10 rogue Corpse lily shoots...once again some far away from the parent
plant,as much as 8'.

Your yard looks great as always. The Sequoia is actually starting to look like a tree.

I have not been on this forum for almost 1.5 years or so now. Was just browsing and saw this post and Jim, you have been at this for as long as I can remember! Everything looks simply fantastic!!!! That sequoia looks amazing and it is HUGE now! I remember that thing was knee high to a grass hopper! LOL! Looking great! Keep up all of the great work! (yes I still have quite a few palms myself but not as many since I live in a slightly cooler climate than I used to. Ill post a neat survival story about one here in a bit....

Thanks you guys.

Nice to see you posting again Ken,I was wondering where you were.
