If you ever want to giveaway a few of your plants I would be more than willing to take them off your hands Your plants are absolutely beautiful! I wish I had that much space. also, great pictures

[deathstalker]

Your collection is amazing! I too am in the Bay Area. I would love to take a closer look at the collection. Perhaps even cross pollinate some of the plants we have in common or give you a hand from time to time. I'm kinda sorta noobish but trying to learn as fast as I can and acquire specimens as long as my wallet will hold out. LOL

That's a lot of sarras there, you must be busy every day, they look very nice and healthy!
It would be nice to see pictures as they progess in the summer!

Great growing!

Thanks everyone! Sorry for the late reply-haven't visited the forum for a while. We've had some spectacular weather this year, and the plants are starting to look really nice. More pictures to come in a new post!
