Komodo Dragon to cheer me up

9 years ago

After having to bag and throw away my big beautiful mature Striptease this weekend due to discovering it was diseased, I went to my favorite nursery outside town to see what they still have. I found a nice looking Komodo Dragon. I love ruffled and wavy edges, so here's hoping it will grow strong. (and don't worry - not in the old striptease spot. That will remain empty as recommended.)

Here's what you'll have to look forward to. Fertilize it the first couple of years. I got this one in 2010, it's about 6 feet across now.

Here's what my Komodo Dragon looked like in it's first year. It didn't get the ruffled edges until the next year:
