Growing Things

We just traded two outstandingly healthy dieffenbachias (very hard to kill) for several "sticks" of Plumeria from a friend.


Not sure what type of Plumeria they are exactly. He didn't know either.

There are over 200 varieties of Plumeria, and they grow in these parts quite well.

He also threw in a handful of aloe vera....







acanthus....



and a very odd unknown succulent (not pictured).







Here are just a few Plumerias.


You can find them all over the net.

Don't need to get to Hawaii to buy some, but it's a good reason to go.

Also picked up a Thornless Mexican Lime tree.


Welcome to the jungle....
