The Arrival:


The Preparation:


The Enjoyment:

Congrats Cheryl, it's a beauty!! Why is it that Ae Ae invariably are treated as a football by our beloved postal service? They must have a dog to specifically sniff them out!

Is there a screaming midget there on fantasy island with you or just a couple of dwarfs(nam wah)?

Very nice Cheryl! My dream is to one day have one of those.
I'll bet that box fell off the truck & got run over by same truck. Or, it got thrown on the truck with a refrigerator on top. Good ol' usps.

Well, despite the fact that it looks like USPS chewed the poor thing up and spit it out...twice...the plant does look very beautiful! I congratulate you for your newest purchase! I'm sure it will be quite the addition to your place! I'll get one sometime when I have more space, but for now, I'll enjoy AEAE ownership vicariously through conversing with all of you here at bananas.org.
