Yes, I got into his website and swooned. He obviously has no spouse holding his feet on the ground like I have. LOL He is free to soar. Is the painted bamboo the yellow in the second picture on his home page. Oh so beautiful. I have 2 yellows but not bright yellow like that! YES get the name please! I love reading about the objects of my affection.

No luck, I suck. I want to see yours flower! And is that huge trunk your castor bean?? Gee, that is just so huge. You really need a monkey as a pet to swing thru your vine/tree tops to further set the mood.

Your weather is so much warmer than here. We finally are feeling winter this week. Not bad yet but a reminder that I best move lots into my hoophouse!

Here is a bromeliad I found at the Huntington in their private greenhouse. I wanted it so much! I came home and searched for it to no avail. Isn't it just grand?
