So what's the new milestone? Well, this little garden blog got its 10,000th page view this morning. So, to celebrate I'll try to find a very tropical pictures to post. Thanks for all who have come to visit from all over Texas, the US, and the world. It means a lot to me to see others enjoy the pictures and the dialogue.
Now it's time to go take some ice photos before it all melts away into memory. David/ :0)

So it happened for you as well....bummer. I locked as many of the tropicals in pots up as I could. Those have been saved. Today it's the unveiling of the citrus as it is our last night of frost. It won't be easy:) Warm up over there and think of some good new tropicals you want in your garden:) Congrats on your blog! Chris
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool peacock ginger you hybridized! your tropical gardens looks so lush. What a shame that you are having such temperatures! Hopefully, you will have some survivors among the tropicals. Some plants are tougher than we think, especially when they've been in-ground a long time.
ReplyDeleteHappy 10,000th page hit!
Sorry to hear you got ice, David. We had the 3rd worse blizzard in history here and the Arctic cold is on the way.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 10,000 visitor milestone - I know I helped rack up that number :-)
So much green! So pretty! We saw the butterfly ginger in Trinidad and Tobago last year and I fell in love with it (took me forever to figure out what it was though). Hope the weather improves!
ReplyDeleteI really like your peacock ginger. I have one. A friend gave me some torch ginger and a root of a peacock ginger came along with it. When it came up I did not know what it was. I had never seen one. It looks like the leaf on yours is much thicker.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed all your pics.
