the huge agaves...yuccas.. i'm taking out....putting plumies there...and on the hottest day...90...yikes..
out front bleeding...from..
Bob,
That is going to look really pretty with the plumies. Sure don't envy you the digging, though.
Sharon
Why are you going to replace them? Don't they long spikes of beautiful flowers in the summer?
makshi..the yuccas would do that but not the agave's...the agaves are the kinds you see at the beach...these get stems/stalks//about 20 ft high and on the end have little plantlets/babies...not real pretty...the yuccas..(i have 2 of them) send up the white talks of leaves...i am replacing them..because they are dangerous for little kids so close to the road and also i need more space...remember i only have a 50 x 75 lot..including my mobile home...and the sun is out there ...which plumies need.
i did keep my yuccas...
here's the follow up pic...planted the 10 plumeria in the front..than listed on ebay..so been a pretty full day...
Very nice Bob And thoughtful to take the Yuccas out for safty of others.
I'm trying to imagine those little stick cuttings as full, blooming plumies.... wow, that is going to be a stunning sight!
Those remaining yuccas look like they're far enough back from the road to not be a problem, and they will provide a nice backdrop for your new plumeria.
:-)
Jill..thanks..that certainly is the plan.......am wondering if that "auction" is for only gessies..or can we put other things on there...ie in the sticky...Allison I didn't take all the agaves out and there are 2 yucca's left there...that's a small tabebuia tree behind the mail box..and of course..the world's greatest outdoor plant...the "california marigold"..ie cosmos sulphereus....they are sooooooooooooooo cheery..
I can't wait Bob until it's all in bloom !

allison the cosmos sulphureus (calif marigold) are just so cheerful...and do well in the heat and cold...love them
Bbo which one did you send me ? What color flowers ? Their getting really tall ! Should they be pinches down to grow bushy ? How old before blooming ?
Thanks, Allison
allison..i have had some get 8 ft tall but they should be blooming yellow and mostly orange...you don't have any blossoms yet?...
Not yet but mine are only about 2 ft. tall
well they'll be blooming and won't stop...and will reseed for you...the seed look like porcupines...
allison this is a collage i made of the califonria marigolds and roses...with my software...i think it's pretty cool
OH pretty Bob :) ..though the blood is not good :( Agave can be mean!
lorry..lol...well they use to ask me at the gym if i wanted to donate blood...i told lthem i do it every day...........if you want some of these gigantic ones with the 4inch spine needles...i'll drop them off...lol
Pretty collage Bob thanks for sharing :))
Keeping kids away is a bad thing?? Just kidding well maybe.
Bob it's going to look awesome when the plumies are in bloom! I hope you've stopped bleeding.
