Fabulous plants, pretty flowers, nice animals Drew! Doesn't everything grow fast when you go away on a trip! Sorry I didn't take a picture of the huge crinums at Selby, shoulda known you'd be interested to see them. They were indeed almost as tall as me, and spread over 8ft. with lovely white, spidery, scented flowers. That's a lovely red one you've got there.

Deb, I was afraid somebody would ask what that variegated plant was! It was in the orchid greenhouse, and I took the pic because I really loved the pretty foliage, too. But . . . there was no label on it, no expert available, and neither Jan nor I had a clue.

My brugs are all loaded with buds, and for sure will be in bloom next week when I am away . . . c'est la vie! Maybe if I ply them with food and drink and lavish them with attention . . they'll open a flower before I leave ? "Have some Madeira, m'dear"

I thought I had pretty big bamboo until we saw this "Giant Bamboo" with culms about 8in. across!
