Hi Mark!!

Im doing the same thing.. Space issue is always a problem here as well. ;-)

Then trying to figure out who gets what place in the pecking order. Everything is inside now. It was a huge pain but I do love it..

Your collection looks great !!

take good care!!

Laura

Hi Laura! :) Great to hear from you! I hope you are doing well. These are just some of the smaller plants.. I had no idea how many plants I had until I brought them in.

Did you fill up your greenhouse?

Always a pleasure :)

Mark

Always a pleasure to hear from you too. Mark!

The greenhouse is full and the upstairs Is full too. . I have a few in my great room ( Plumeria). Do you think my Christmas guest will notice? ;-). Guess what? It doesn't matter, because they are staying right there.. Lol. I'll go take a pic on the trees near the table.. I have to laugh at myself...

This is the over flow. The large tree can't fit anywhere else. Hubby just ignored it... Lol. He's getting better....

Remember Mark. " we don't count any trees or seedlings.." Lol

I getting ready to receive a box of goodies from Dino ( Thailand). Oh boy... YES! I'll send you pictures...

Just don't laugh at the greenhouse.. That pic will have to be taken tomorrow.

Seeing your post made me smile.. So nice to see you!!! ;-)

laura

Hi Laura- Nah I don't think anyone will notice them. You can just decorate them with some Christmas lights. :p . Wow that tree is huge love the way it looks. You might have some trouble next year. Do you have any trees pushing inflo's? Can't wait to see your new arrivals! Dino's plants look amazing. I'm sure you got some good ones. Do you have the pots ready for them?

Here's a pic from today with the plant pushing buds.

Can't wait to see your greenhouse!! :) How is the giant ponytail Palm?

Mark

Mark, what a group to bring. Always become more aware of just how many one has when you do this, right.

All looking so great.

Laura, Oh my. Love the Ponytail Palm. There was one in Hawaii that was planted into a wooden box many years ago. It was huge and had grown through bottom of box. Looked like a huge Bonsai in this little box.

Your Plumies all in their winter place. What a collection.

Rick

Laura. Wow. That is the biggest potted plumeria I have ever seen! Do you have a photo of it in leaf?

Mark, about half of my adenium plants are pushing buds too. I've been counter-pushing them to hunker down but they do this instead. Go figure.

Pagan

Hi Mark!!

We are having cooler temps and I have finally finished bringing in everything!!!!

i guess it's time for most of my trees to rest and I'll enjoy the break only to be ready to bring them back outside again.. ;-) Please have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!

Hi Pagan!!

just looked for a pic of my Kapalua in leaf. It's not the best view of it, but you can get a good feel of the size. Thank you!! I just love all of your pictures..

Take Good Care!!

Laura

I am absolutely feeling the size of this tree, Laura. Amazing bloom, too!

And Mark, I believe I espy a Euphorbia obesa in that photo of yours. Cutie!

Pagan

My goodness Laura, I had to laugh because you remind me so much of myself. I also have 30 guests coming for Christmas. Not to mention that my parents stay in my bedroom for the holidays. This is where the tent and adeniums reside and LED factory operates 17 hours a day LOL. Think they will notice? Too bad I say.

Tracy

Mark I forgot my manners. Hello friend, it has been a while. So glad to see you and your brood are doing well. My stuff has been inside since the first week of October so dormancy has set in well now.

Tracy

Lol, Tracy.. You had me laughing.. We are all alike and that's why we really understand our love and need for these awesome trees as well as letting family members stay in your room with the " treasure". They should be " honored". Lolololl..

We have a great group who " just get it.. ". That means more than anything !!

laura

Wow you greenhouse looks nice and packed, Laura! Bummer about that ponytail Palm, but at least it went to a good home. It was such a giant already. Always glad to see your trees.

Bringing the plants back out is always the best!

Thanks all, I'm getting ready to sow some more seeds so the brood will be growing.

Thanks Pagan, that E. obesa is seed grown baby. The only survivor after some rodents munched on the rest.

I'm still waiting for the plant to flower. It is taking ages it seems!

Have a Happy and safe Thanksgiving everyone! :)

Mark

OMG...rodents eat them? I had three marble-sized E. obesa also grown from seed and they all disappeared in one night. I thought maybe squirrels. Three years of growth. grr. Now I only have the mother plant left and it hasn't bloomed since.

I still can't get over the size of that plumeria, Laura.

Pagan

Hello, Laura-

Great to see your plant collection. I'd kill for your greenhouse! The Kapalua blossoms have some beautiful colors. Really nice. Now you know that I am giving Adeniums another try.

Thanks for the photo tour.

Frank

Laura's photo's of Plumies take me back to a place I love and always look forward to go. Hawaii. Her pool just gets me too. Always feel like jumping right in.

mahalo,

Rick

Hey Pagan, yes I think it was a mouse that ate them since it happened over night. Didn't think they would since the sap can be toxic. They also ate developing seed pods on the mother plant so I wasn't able to get seed this season.

Mark

Hello Everyone!!!

i hope you all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

:-)

Laura

Thanks Laura! I hope you had a good one! :)

Mark

The buds still haven't opened. I'm hoping soon. Looks like it could be a double.

Mark, They do take there time and especially when we are wanting it to open 'today'. It has a nice color to it. ,look forward to seeing it open.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and family.

Rick
