NOT FAIR!!!! I'm in Seattle with no sun and 40°F(4.4°C), wet ground, rain. . . . . . boo! hoo! hoo! Oh! and I gotta work, too.

Thank you for those awesome pictures.

mskitty38583 · 05-15-2008, 09:21 AM

what are the plants in the second pic, the ones in the foreground? all ur pics are lovely!

bikoro child · 05-15-2008, 11:53 AM

they are gunneras manicata a kind of giant rhubarb from Chile ,the leaves can reach 3 metres in diameter...they are as hardy as musa Basjoo...

dablo93 · 05-15-2008, 01:21 PM

that leaves are huge, I think the height is at least 2 meters from the leaves in the first pic?
in gardencentra you can buy Gunnera Manicata but they are always then Gunnera Tinctoria, the smallel form.

mskitty38583 · 05-15-2008, 05:04 PM

the leaves are very pretty. i might have to get some ruhbard( or how ever its spelled). i like to use it in cakes and pies. yummy yummy! thanks for the pics and the id on the plant. and here i thought the only thing to see in france was claude monets' house..... guess i was wrong.

Tropicallvr · 05-16-2008, 03:07 AM

Awesome, those beach and rock shot's are great, and the New zealand palm is my favorite plant one.
Thanks

bikoro child · 05-16-2008, 05:28 AM

Just Stunning Bikoro!
I'm a big palm fan myself, truly exotic.
