AeAe are difficult to ship (by the time the Mom dies and the keiki is ready to cut it is HUGE). Tissue culture is the best way to get them...

That Floss Silk Tree is another beauty....on the list it goes.

Yes...I know I am a very lucky person...DH and I tell eachother how blessed we are all the time. This life is like living in a dream. It is so darn much fun. However...the chocolate side of the vanilla cookie is always there....schlepping water out to the plantings when it gets too dry... Doesn't seem like a hardship, but one pays a price.

OK...here is a little bed I made next to an existing one near the house...planted a bunch of Alocasia, Anthurium and Dianella... I love that lime green Alocasia...The yellow towards the top is a 5' long orchid spike blooming...

Today I am calling around to nursery friends to see who has the trees....
