I am frequently amazed at some of the backyards that I see on this forum. I want a backyard like this! Oh that's right if I had a pond like this one my Labrador would constantly be in it that's why I don't, ir my cats would be drinking out of it like they do Dales water dish. Does your Redfoot ever try to get into the water? Are you afraid that he might drown? From what I see here you are the Terryo of California.

Is that their outdoor 'HOOD?

I take back everything I've said about you JD! ---- behind your back -----

I'm glad they ended up with you.. after their "not the best start" { out of my hands }

Talk about "bragging-rights"!!!

yes Yvonne I love Plants ....and well lets say in " ma blood" ...my G Parents were horticulerist specializing in Epiphyllums, I myself N2Plumerias......and Bamboos. Iam very blessed to live in such a great climate that is excellent for plants and torts alike.
Sometimes I forget that ........

why its fun to share with other folks who have the same interets.:shy:
Here Is my FAVO ROSE in the garden

Absolutely stunning! Now I'm REALLY getting antsy waiting for Spring. Still in the low 40's here. You are so lucky with the weather you have now.

GEORGE BURNS never looked that good! Simply beautiful home you have JD. At first I thought I was looking at a park. You have inspired me to get off my lazy butt and get to work in my yards!.....Yes, it WAS beautiful on the central coast today. Hope we get more of this weather!


GEORGE BURNS...who decided that name for a rose?????

. For most of my exotics I try and keep accurate records. Its a must when dealing with plumerias since alot of times " cuttings" and or plants are not in flower at the time of purchase . One of the biggest scams out there..in the horticulture world.. " selling off plants that are not the color " bloom" you actually thought you were buying! And like torts the nicer the color the more value and harder to root/maintain .Iam up to about 25+ colors currently ...for plumies with about 200 specimans.
Ive grown this from a seedling back in 2006 and now stands about 18"..and still is about 1~2 years off from blooming this is one of the most rarest plumies for me and extremely hard one to find .This is a picture from the " Host " plant.
And just like tortoises you can " pollinate different Parent plants to produce seeds for certain colors ..... Then once established *unlike torts* you can take multiple cuttings .. and the will Bloom EXACTLY like the mother plant.

They are gorgeous. My Grandfather (passed on) had a greenhouse full of orchids, they were beautiful. I was a child (yes I'm still older than you) and I remember being fascinated by them. My Grandfather was always in his greenhouse tending his flowers. I also recall customers coming to house to buy flowers and went with him when he made deliveries. Special times we had....
