Pictures of some of my plants

[Heather Buttercup aka Resident Smart A@@]

Pam inspired me to go take some pictures  Alot of my stuff is gone for the winter  I bought a new pot for 5.00 at the goodwill & filled it with "Devil's backbone" which I think made a really cool mohawk!  It has to come inside for the winter but I think I can stand to look at that for a few months!

Alan bought me new sedums Elephant sedum, & Rainbow sedum


Elepant ears & Thalia got big in the pond


Red Gaillaridia

Seed pods for Sacred Datura

My pepper plant Neighbor got drunk & tried one, he then drank pond water to get the taste out of his mouth

Alan also bought me a staghorn fern . It was in a 2inch pot so it has grown a lot!

Wanted to add the 4 cabbage palms we bought this year





Oh & a Cardboard palm

and finally my golden dewdrop

Looking good...
That first palm is huge, I'll bite how did you plant that.
Love the carboard palm..We can only grow the Palmetto/Fan palm here.
The dewdrop is cool too. Heck all the plants are cool.

Well we dug a hole 3 feet deep, 3 feet around which can be seen here with Emma & her best friend in it  ;)http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=31031531&l=afc92dd1ac&id=1514337973
They got delivered http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=31031535&id=1514337973&ref=fbx_album

and we hoisted them bad boys up with my truck  it seemed like the redneck thing to do  The one next to the house we had to get a tractor out here because it wanted to swing everytime we tried to pull it up.  Pond was in the way of my driving & pulling

They grow wild here so they are pretty reasonable.  We got three 12 footers & one 16 footer.  Alan had wanted palms since we moved here but I got a pond & a car & well that list goes on

I love that cool pot! 

I haven't grown Devil's Backbone, but it does look great as hair! 

Everything looks so good, I don't know what to comment on first...those ears are beautiful and I love the lotus too. I never planted the seed that you sent me yet.

Can you leave the staghorn outside all winter? I love those plants and those palms! I wondered what that variety was called. We see them all over Port Aransas.

My golden dewdrop suffered an untimely death last winter (safely in the heated tent) and although I love them, I just didn't replace it this year.

That thalia is pretty, I need to look into those. 

[Heather Buttercup aka Resident Smart A@@]

I hate the Thalia! It's roughly 12 feet tall with the flowers coming out the top. Flowers are pretty plant inself sucks, rimind me in the spring & I'll mail the root ball to you!   Staghorn needs to come in the house, so do the sedums   People eat the cabbage palms around here. They just chop the top off & eat it

[Ruth]

Cool......so you had help...LOL....
I wish we could grow palms like that, shoot if we could, trees that size would in the 1000.00's....

[Heather Buttercup aka Resident Smart A@@]

Oh yeah I had help! I tried to figure out how I could do it before Alan got home but it was hopeless .  Around here those trees are 100 each, not bad since we paid that for trees I could load in the truck by myself

[Dez]

WoW...That is a bargain..They would charge more than that for delivery here..LOL

[Heather Buttercup aka Resident Smart A@@]

It was 20.00 to deliver them so it was a good deal.  They are looking good. We had to water them every day for awhile while new roots were growing but they seem to be ok .  We will see how they do this winter.  They are native so they should do fine.

[Fuzzy]

i hope they do well for you. I would hate for you to lose them after all the fun you had planting them, not to mention the money spent.

Yeah! Me & you both!  We took out 2 tables in the yard when one of those trees swung around wrong

Gorgeous....
