Yo Tarkus!
I included a fat man in so you can get an idea of size.
Alocasia Mac.
Xan. S.
Saba Nana,and beside me is Alo Mac. with your name on it.
Brugmansia.
ceedub,I'm not Dave,I am just saying welcome to Tarkus,he is a new member here.
Welcome Tarkus to Dave's. Follow Root to get rooted.
Root that yard sure looks good.
LOL cee! Thanks Ted already thinking of how I want to do it next year.
Is that the seedling you have been talking about? That sucker is really tall. All those big plants make you look very small. I know what you look like. You have a tall jungle there.
Woooo hooo fat boy! LOL Um, where is the fat? You are a hoot! Yard looks great!
Welcome Tarkus!!
Hello Tarkus...welcome!
Rooty....you've been so busy! Everything looks just beautiful. I'm jealous now! LOL Is your whole hand green???
Beautiful Root. Everything looks so pretty!
Wow! Your yard looks amazing!
How in the world do you get that Alo Mac inside? Do you just dig and cut back? Woowee! lol OMG how do you get them all out of the ground and inside?
Way to go Rootdoctor! Sure looks great from here!!

Root, that is just ....amazing! You've done marvelous job this year..... my hat goes off to you, my Friend.... :)
Tom is making sketches for next year plantings...lol
beautiful garden root. I am with badseed on the wieght issue though. I got you by 50 lbs easy $%! little debbies. I'm sueing them for making cheap cakes that taste great. ;-)
question...... do these overwinter in the ground for you up there? I figure you have some type of little micro-climate going on there.. what zone do you think it pushed it to? That Alocasia Mac is a great-looking plant and one I'll be on the lookout for.
Thanks MzM,I pollenated the big Mac,if I get seedlings I will for sure get one to you,I do bring the big tropicals into a GH for winter.
Wow Rootdr, those look great! Welcome Tarkus.
thanks for the reply and the offer.... Wow... I'll be keeping toes and fingers crossed!
A man's garden? LOL Guess us girls are gonna have to show him ours! ;)
oh Root, that is beautiful.. I have never seen an EE that is that big.. here they stay about 12 inches tall.. Wow yours are great, your whole place looks fantastic. Thanks for showing these to Tarkus..
Welcome to Dave's Tarkus..
Such a treat to see your yard Rootdoc. You have such a wonderful collection of plants and when your amazing collection of brugs bloom it is breathtaking!
Root? Tarkus? Come back!!! I was only jivin' about the man thing. LOL
Root, in your last picture, Is that plant really growing in the jug?
Yes,that is Plumeria,someone gave me the Urn,I will plant in anything,LOL!
Oh, I love it. Love all your plants.

Thank ya, Susie & Gourd :)
lol, Badseed I wasn't nervous about "the man thing". Remember, I'm too new to know any better. lol
Keep the pics comin', Doc!
Great yard there ROOTDR.. amaising buch of plants... real talll brugs... mine
are all branching more and never seeing that much trunk on them... must be my bottom heat growing on the roof.. or are you pruneing them to be more of a standard and good looking plumerias... do you know Scott there in KC.. he's the moderator of the Plumeria group at Yahoo.. he's got a great collection of them and could shurely throw you a cutting or two.. about planting in that jug.. seems like you'll have to break it open in a short while to keep it growing.. I'd thought you were waterrooting it in there..
Well talk about HARDCORE ..HA HA HA HA ... you surrely fit right into my bunch on that one.. nothing like it anywhere... and aganst alll odds and probobility..
Are you a regular Dr of some sort.. or do you just play one on the internet.. You surely have a doctorate on tropicals..
Continued success and ongoing hard labor..

picture is from my garden.. to you..
Awesome photo, Gordon. I love it.
Great photo, Gordon!!
LOL!! I am just a plant nut Gordon,PHD in compost LOL!
I prune them up as standards,I like to sit under my Brugs.
The Plumie was only a year old cutting,so I may be able to keep it in that pot for awhile,I am sure I will have to bust it loose some day.
I would like to use your last pic as wall paper,great shot!
If you Email me with your friends name I will try to hook up,I am sure I can find something to tempt him with,for some hints on how to get this Plumie to bloom,I still have not smelled one.
Gordon,I do have to bring Brugs in for winter,easier as Trees also,but I do have a few as shrubs.
Front porch. This is sitting behind the front tropicals,other end from steps and Plumie.
GRAND BRUGMANSIA I ljust love the pink with heavily ruffled skirt... save me a hnk of that one when you descide how much of it you wish to overwinter...
and that chair under the two of them.. got to be the best seeat in the house.. read headdy loungeing... here's my Texas Pink Brug... Gordon
