Nice rockwall Tangy!
Here's a great thread over at the Palm Society for rockwalls, you should check it out:

Tangy · 07-21-2007, 06:05 PM

^^^^ Thanks for the link! I just bookmarked that page.

Carolina · 07-21-2007, 09:18 PM

Tangy, that rockwall is super cool. I'm thinking of making hypertufa rock to surround my pond sides. Half of it is above ground and I don't really care for the wood surround.

Great link, Jarred!

This is an old picture from earlier this spring, I need to take a better one.

NANAMAN · 07-24-2007, 10:04 AM

I love the pond pics, especially the giant amazon waterlilies in your gallery. Do they survive the winters there?

sandy0225 · 07-24-2007, 10:09 AM

No, they're not hardy here. I sure wish! I'm not even sure if they're hardy even as far north as northern Florida.
Thanks for the nice comments.
My bananas aren't all what they should be in the yard this year. The ones in the greenhouse for sale are great this year though. Something had to give time-wise, so it was some of my personal landscaping in the yard.

Greenie · 07-24-2007, 05:54 PM

just a quick pic of the banana project I took today,still needs some work.From R to L are Fhia 17,3,D. Brazilian,SH-3640,Fhia 18 and Tall S. Plantain.

Kylie2x · 07-24-2007, 06:13 PM

Here are couple of pic's of home.. This is the front or some of it..LOL The porch wraps the house...From L to R... Blue Bermese, DC,Mona Lisa,Misi Luki ,Raja Puri and a GF at the end...

I also have a few Maurelii's a Cuban Red, Orinoco another GF and a couple of NOID's in between the Pampas Grass....Some are kind of small now.. I have a couple of yr old Queensland Heelers that mowed them down not long ago..

Side of the house.. GF's some Brugs a Maurelii...and EE's..We have 65 acres.. The rest we run cattle on...I do have a Cutting garden and Veggie garden that takes up about an acre in addition to the house and stuff up here..

Taylor · 07-24-2007, 07:04 PM

I am reluctant to do this. It feels.... odd. It feels like I am showing a thief everything in my house and giving him a map before he gets here. But nobody here would do that, so no worries!

I know, I know. Not very tropical. Sorry guys...

Lots more pics in the gallery. Feel free to take a look and give me suggestions about what would make it better.

Kylie2x · 07-25-2007, 03:41 PM

OMG!!!!
Everyone has wonderful and diverse homes!!! It is soooo cool to see how everyone manipulates their areas..... The rock wall and ponds... WOW!!! The giant Banana trees (in my dreams).. Gabe moving to Hawaii... AWWW!!!! Taylor beautiful place..You have lots of space to work with.. I lived in Va.. (long time ago) I loved it there.. You have great weather.. Hot but lots of rain...
I hope everyone else will get their pic's posted.. I have already got several ideas and ways to change our yard.. Thanks to ya'll...
Kylie

Taylor · 07-25-2007, 04:06 PM

Thanks Kylie! it is nice here, truly. But it has been a little dry this year. But it is funny that all week long on the weather channel, "Scattered Showers, Isolated T-Storms" Etc, but we never get any of it!

Simply Bananas · 07-29-2007, 05:11 AM

Here in Charleston these grow pretty well provided there is plenty of rain.

Here is our backyard.

Here is the front yard.

Here are some Orinocos.

Tangy · 07-29-2007, 07:26 AM

^^^ Porkpi, those are some great photos. Looks like bananas do very well in the low country. I am headed down to Edisto next weekend!

We will be there starting Wednesday Aug 1. I will planting a Saba in front(palmetto bvld side) of our beach house and hope the wind will not destroy it. There is nice stand producing some Orinocos down by Dockside restaurant. Stop by and say hi.

mudcat25 · 07-29-2007, 06:30 PM

[/IMG]Great photos everyone. This is a great thread to get ideas from. I have a few bananas and other tropicals, most of my yard is plants easily grown in my area. Front and sides I did not show, just hostas and azaleas, etc. Well, here's some of my favorites.
