Thanks Karen for all the nice comments... this is sure a beautiful time of the year. The creek is in front of my house. It usually isn't that full but we had 6 inches of rain in about a 24 hour period. You couldn't hear yourself talk while down there.

Karen, I have 3 Cycas revoluta (Sago Palms), 1 Cycas panzhihuaensis (Pansihua Sago Palm), 1 Cycas taitungensis (Tongue Tied Cycad), and 1 Cycas taitungensis x guizhouensis (Hybrid Hardy Sago Palm - a cross between those two species). There are a number of others that are hardy to our area too and I may take a jaunt to two large Cycad dealers in Florida. Trouble is, they are very slow growers, many very rare, and thus many very expensive. But, I like them a lot and will continue to add other species, hybrids and cultivars.

Karen, you had asked what my Cycad would look like. If you haven't watched this before it's pretty informative: http://www.garden-share.com/video/cycads-how-to-grow-cycads

Hi Karen.  April Fool's Day here yesterday.  Do you have that?  Hope you like the daylilies.

Hi Karen.  I recognised your name from facebook.  Unfortunately your page isn't loading properly as I'm out of downloads and it's all very slow.  I'll come back again in April.

Thanks Karen.
