Start off with some Pachy's
I knew if I repotted the Madagascar palm it would grow more this year....
check out the leaves-
3' crown of leaves
can't wait to see it next year...I think I'll put it in a bigger pot!
Pachypodium Fiherense
Pachypodium Geayi -in front of the Cereus-which(BTW)has grown out the whole branch on the left,the one in the center and the blue part of the one on the right-and I was wondering why the top didn't grow!
Sequoia is 7' 1"
This Fiddle leaf fig has grown out everything above the yardstick in 6 weeks or so?
Philodendron (Hope) or is it Hype?
Whatever you call it-sure has grown a lot!
C.Maxima,L.Grandis,L.Ramsayi,T.Martianus(Khasia hills),T.Martianus.
E.Glaucum
Siam Ruby
Rowe Red
Few Sabal Lou
H.parviflora -the one one the other side bloomed this spring-still going too.
A.Parryi(blue form)
Trichocereus Terscheckii
A.Parryi
One of Garry's(Coldplant)Stonegate Princeps.
T.Princeps
Another Princeps-planted in Feb
Washy
Castor beans...somewhere in the neighborhood of 13' while they stand.
Castors on the east side
A.Nigra
3 of the Corpse lilies have 60" spreads and are about 3 1/2' tall.
One of the backups for the C.Cooperi
B.Eriospatha trunk.
nice recovery from spear and socket/core pull.
interesting that M.Saba puts it's leaves all the way out on a foot long petiole before they open.
One last shot of the Castor beans

| T.ferns were killed off last fall by 18-22F temps-it was forecast to be 27F .).: The 2 Cooperi were still green until recently-one remains.
