Cheers, I've moved loads over the last few weeks, I'm just hoping it doesn't set the plants back too much.

Just over a year ago I bought a Panasonic Micro 4/3 camera with the intention of taking up photography as a hobby. Unfortunately this never materialized and the size of the camera led to it being a hindrance and not being taken anywhere.

We decide to get rid and luckily sold it to a friend within 12 hours and replaced with a Panasonic TZ40 which is a nice little compact with a decent zoom which fit easily into a pocket. Anyway here's a few snaps.
And zoom, not quite as impressive as Dave's HX50 but good none the less, pics were taken free hand (the panny has excellent image stabilization soft/hardware)
I's also got some nifty Wifi and NFC features including being able to use my phone as a remote control.

All in all I'm very happy and it will get used a lot more than the old G3.

July update, everything seems to be moving along nicely now. Indivisa putting out leaves, Schefflera taiwaniana x gracilis flowering, good new growth on the polycarpa and bamboo's rocketing away.

And a few more.

Very nice pics Phil, yopur Scheffy seems to be doing nicely and the whole garden looks lush and green.

Is that a Moseri in the last pic?

Cheers, no it's a Blackpool Bus Station

In a seriousness it's a polycarpa

Not sure on pic 3. if its the one on the corner it was sold as brownii. That's my biggest cyathea.

Quality!

I reckon mine in the Temple window must be a Polycarpa then, it looks really similar to yours.

The indivisa is looking good.......I bought one left it potted (wrong choice)....I thought it was brown bread.....Planted in the barked play area and forgeot about it really as all the leave went brown and dried out.....anyway 2 weeks later its coming back alilve with an nice new green stem pushing out....so fingers crossed.

Was yours from treseeders coddy? I know a few of us bought from them via eBay a few years ago. I thought mine was dead after its 1st Winter (potted in conservatory) but it pulled through and is looking ok now it's planted out.

Looking very good!

Yeh, done not bad in greenhouse overwinter then went on a massive decline.......I think because the pot was to small.....I read they have a 85% better chance of survival if planted......by that time tough I thought it was a gonna and was about to get another and plant it straight out.....I don't even know what made me plant this as there no sight of green hardly left on it.....anyway the is a new central leaf pushing out of it now...
