My Mandevilla has more than double in sized over the


My Mandevilla in the backyard saw some light frosts in the spring, but it has grown really well since. Imagine how fast it would grow if the roots weren't confined to a pot!


Brugmansia "Emerald Glow" bloom


Robert Kemp Hibiscus


Painted Lady Hibiscus (this one is tropical!)


Moon vine one night before opening up.


Huge moon vine bloom the next evening. 


Passiflora "Berkley" about to make the first bloom of the season.


I thought I lost this Mexican Petunia over the winter, but I potted up the roots anyways to see what would happen. It ended up growing back without a problem! Every single plant that I thought died over the winter ended up coming back eventually.


Thanks for looking!





Potted Livistona pic.

I rarely take pics of this palm, but it makes a nice potted plant. I've had it for about 3 years now. It always gets sun damage in the spring, but makes a full recovery by this time of the year.
