barely visible is a very heavy row boat that sits on top of one of the septic tank
access covers..which I had to drag up and over the retaining wall so the repairs
could be made earlier in the summer.

Well, I see that didn't work. It took me forever to copy and paste all of those web sites, >+##%!

Anyway I got the following:

Yucca linearifolia
Yucca schottii
Yucca thompsoniana
Agave schidigera 'Shira ito no Ohi'
Zantedeschia 'Picasso'

Look up the agave as it is really cool.

Jim,
In addition to the wonderful reading in the PlantDelights catalogue..they have the MOST amazing gardens that are open several times
a year..during their open house events. I know its a very long drive from Florida...but is worth the detour! Of course you are invited to
purchase plants while there and save on the shipping...which may pay for the gas!

PlantDelights sounds like a very nice place to visit and I'm very pleased with the plants they sent me. They inject humor into their catalog and that's right up my alley.

Oh man. We are in the middle of a pretty violent thunderstorm with small hail and I just lost my peach tree. Looks like it was hit by lightning. Thank goodness I brought in all the orchids hanging in it and had the tarps up! I'm waiting for the rain to subside so I can check out the damage.

Here is a surprise today in my garden. I noticed that there was a plant growing where the Campanula 'White Clips' was sposta be. Is this a Gaura. Never had one so I don't know...
