Haha. Wow. How did all of those Floridians not know? Funny.

Greg, too funny. People often just walk right by things.

There is a woman down the road from us here that has the largest madagascar palm that I have ever seen in person in her front yard. I was walking Ace dog one day and the woman was outside. She smiled at me and waved at Ace, so I took the opportunity to tell her that I loved her madagascar palm and asked her if she knew how old it was. She looked around confused and then pointed and said, "that spiky thing? Is that what it's called? I wanted to rip it up when we moved in, but my husband liked it for some reason"

I just kind of chuckled, said have a great day, and walked on while thinking to myself that I would kill for that plant.
I am not an early bird or a night owl--I am some form of permanently exhausted pigeon

Here are a few of my tillies on a big piece of coral. I was scared the residual salt in the rock might burn them but no problems.


This is the original set up.
