Arlons Blog: Propagating Cycas revoluta "aurea" ..SUCCESS !

Red,
don't buy mate, the agave pups are excess anyway. If you want, you could try and palm that large rigida off on me or the dasy but you'll have to try hard. If i don't take one of em you can have the pups for trying.

A few more pics for today (day 6).

Bit of a washout weather wise, but got a fair bit done. Should hopefully get what i wanted to get done by tommorrow, hopefully a dry day to move some bigger plants into place, hopefully tree ferns won't be too wet. I gotta bear hug them into place

[kata]

Very nicely done Arlon!

[redsquirrel]

agree with you there,its coming on rapidly. will have to cross the iron gate soon and go and see it

[kata]

Oh,

Are them pink n white million bells Arlon, save me some seed if they seed..thanks.

I was looking at them on Plant Connections but when I clicked they changed the color.

Looking again they may be morning glories.

nothing posted today,i wonder if arlons had an accident??

[Arlon Tishmarsh]

No accident mate , thought i'd finished and found 8 black arums, a colocasia gigantea and four pots of P. Nigra, they can wait now. Don't have any more time to give it but i think i achieved what i'd hoped in the allocated seven days.

If anyone has any suggestions (apart from start again or tarmac it) love to hear them tho. My intention is to build a hothouse off the L shaped stone wall but thats later on. If the lottery comes in a pool , i wish.

There will be more larger plants coming, more Dicksonia antarctica's, Trachycarpus's, cappy's etc. Hopefully in a few weeks the small filler stuff will shoot up and fill it out and with a lot of colour hopefully.

Hope you enjoy the pics

I will be worried for you Arlon come the winter,

Its such a beautiful garden. Palms look simply devine. I am so worried about if our winter will be bad for you after all the hard work.

We *do* enjoy the pics so keep them comimg.

Thats good to hear Arlon, long may that continue. New images look awesome. I like how your lounge window overlooks the garden, especially as it a bay, sort of 360...nice!

One thing I like in a morning is a cuppa and look and admire my back garden, soon I shall be on the move, who knows I may have a bigger garden.

Drink a bud fer me..lmaoooooooooooo

[Arlon Tishmarsh]

Looking good Mark, you have done loads in a short space of time and it is going to pay off this summer and look great.

Nick...

[redsquirrel]

your back must be killing you.that huge Dicksonia antarctica is going to look the absolute tots if you get a kind one this winter.so will everything else
the bugs bitten now mate,you will be out there every night for a bit more now

[nige pook]

Wow!! I'm a landscaper so I know how hard it is to achieve an 'instant' garden. Think you've done a fantastic job and it's inspiration for me,if I ever get back on the property ladder again! All mine are in pots as I'm renting since coming back from Australia and I just long for a garden of my own again. Bloody beaut mate as they'd say,my hat off to you sir!
