Looks awesome.

Somewhat more pedestrian I am afraid There are Fatsia Japonica and Hosta and one lonely surviving New Guinea impatiens.

The Ensete are the only ones coming in this year. Last winter I brought two Basjoos in because I felt that I hadn't planted them deep enough to over winter out doors. The rest of the Basjoos were added this year as were three cavendish that are in planters.

Sweet, very nice.

I'm jealous of your great weather this year, you've had a persistent high pressure ridge and here in the great lakes we've been cursed with persistent low pressure trough.

The problem with this high pressure ridge that won't move is we are already on Stage 3 water restrictions. We have only had 2 1/2" of rain since April so that means hand watering only now, no lawn watering and no car washing. It is shaping up to be a long hot summer.

Smile Re: Morning in the garden

I agree with you, these photos were taken 5 years ago, how quickly the time flies.. These plants are fantastic! It's like a garden of Eden. If I had a garden like this, all mornings would be happy. Unfortunately, I cannot grow such plants, I don't have this talent. To make such a garden, I need a team of professional landscape designers. But I also have a lovely back garden. However, I have only roses growing there (my wife's favorite flowers), a few apple trees, and a fountain that we recently installed. By the way, our fountain works without electricity using solar powered water pumps. I can say that this is the main decoration in our garden.

Wow,old thread resurrection. If only my garden looked so nice this year. Seems a long cold wet spring ha taken it’s toll. I lost most of my ensete year before last and am slowly getting those back. My windmill palm had been doing great and probably has 3 more feet of trunk since these photos but didn’t make through this winter.
Seems like I will be starting fresh.
