Each year I take far to many photos and about this time of the year I start putting them in the correct folders. I am working on a large data base much like what we have here on Dave's garden for my photos. After adding up all the plant photos it seems I have to go through 21,000.00 photos and still more from last year. I have a huge folder of all plant family and many species made up and the photos get to be categorized in this huge folder that I have added photos to for the last 9 years. I thought I would share some of the more interesting photos here on Dave's.



This is a old photo. A friend sent me this photo years ago. The were it came from seems to be a mystery. I saw this photo about 8 years ago. Once I saw it I literally bugged Malaysian tropicals to find it. I know Peter Boyce who works over their and he was able to bring it into cultivation. It is now fairly easy to get. Of course growing it is a completely other story. Here is probably one of the best photos of it I have seen. Known for having one of if not they largest solid leaves in the world.
