Re: Pdid`s garden pic`s
Thats why every garden should have stocks......notice the garden related humour there
Re: Pdid`s garden pic`s
When they got bigger and wanted to play football in the garden, they were then banished to the bottom with a tall fence splitting the garden in half so that when they kicked the ball, it wouldn't land in the pond and knock out the koi . I had a Japanese theme going and goal posts and churned up grass just did not fit in
Re: Pdid`s garden pics (Update 31.5.12)
Right updated garden pics, with new curvy lawn. I have also planted out some Echiums, a few Canna seedlings, some ferns, ensetes and an Astillia since the last pics.

Re: Pdid`s garden pics (Update 31.5.12)
And a couple more:
Ensete Ventricosum, Maurelii, Semiarunda Kimmei Big Dicksonia antarctica Cyathea Medullaris, Cooperii, Australis, Fatsia polycarpa, Begonia Luxurians, phoenix robelenii Brahea Armata, I`m glad to see this one moving as I was worried about the roots at the end of last year Musa Mekong Giant, recovering from a Red Spider Mite attack Alocasia Mac on the move again after another Red Spider Mite attack

Re: Pdid`s garden pics (Update 31.5.12)
Hmm I have a mac of a similar size and I read its better to leave more of the rhizome above ground to prevent rot.

It's hard to tell just yet due to the size difference between the plants, but it does look to be developing similar "wings" yes.Mr List wrote:hey pdid i was looking at my mekong giant and thinking it looks like it has the same 'wings' as basjoo does on the petiole.

I have noticed the undersides of the leaves and petioles have started to develop a purple blush, it's not obvious in the picture but it is looking good. Dam red spider mite have had it over the last few days grrrr.
