Maybe a couple species will like it here.<br /><br />I bought a cycas taitungensis a while back. It's in a pot now. Hopefully I will find the right spot for it to be planted soon.<br /><br />Great blog and instagram. Inspiring to see what you do!<br /><br />-Luke, from Tropical Seattle.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-26809636486025976162018-11-04T19:50:05.813-08:002018-11-04T19:50:05.813-08:00Agave 'Mr. Ripple' ...

Schools are omitting recess, and that energy must go somewhere.
