Good news/bad news. Good - went to the domes last Sunday. One is Tropical, one is desert & one is all flowers. They are 145ft wide & 85ft tall. Last time I was there (10-15yrs), they had a big nana tree. Don't know what kind, but I was really hoping they'd have a nana tree. They did & to my surprise they were Ice Cream (my biggest) & one had a big bunch of nanas on! I took a bunch of pics & pointed out the flag leaf to my fiancee'. We have a 12 footer in his Lroom that I'm hoping will flower soon.
Then I saw a 6 ft AeAe. Took more pics. Then, I saw a 5 1/2 ft skinny nana with flower & 1 1/2 inch fruits! It was very small & I don't have a clue what it was. Took more pics. Then, I saw a 25 ft high pumello grapefruit tree with huge fruits on. More pics.
There were beautiful palms & I think one's called a Traveler tree (?) More pics. More plants & more pics.
Then the desert dome & HUGE cactus & yucca. Big ol' Dragon Fruit growing over a large rock. Lots more pics. So exciting to see all this stuff esp a fruiting I.C. - musta been over 20 -25 ft high.
Bad news is, I forgot to take the fricking lens off!!! No pics...waaaaaa.
Anyone near MKE, it's worth a drive here to see this. $5.50 Adm
