Here's the "Tapioca" tree that Jerry gave me. It's the plant with the marijuana-like looking leaves.... Now Jerry; this was a Tapioca tree right?

And here is a water lily "Mexicana" that MikeW gave me:

I've received so many plants over the past 5 years from Ponders members!

Kat, Lawanna, Enzo, and Bonnie to name a few favorites in the past.

This year I've received many lilies (again) from Kat; lotus from Matherfish; Ladyblues1965 sent lots of waterplants and lilies,; Ravenschild sent iries; Blind'Too hand delivered pennywort and red taros; and Mikey gave me a small cut of hornwort (they grew so fast and plentiful) when I visited his garden and pond.

Always a pleasure to trade, buy or receive beautiful plants from members. Thank you!

Alleghany monkey flower from Cathy (Live to Garden) Sadly, raccoons tore it up last year and no pieces survived....This was a great bloomer for many years.

I've got giant papyrus and canna 'Pretoria' from MikeW, Walter Pagels from Bonnie, Little Sue and Georgia Peach from Gary (Cool Shades) Equisetum from Jerry, canna 'Stuttgart' and many other plants from Joyce. Several hostas from Jenny in Montana. I've purchased tropicals from Kat this year and a lotus from Marie.

I'm sure I'm missing some too.

Neat.

Mike Koool dude!

Mikey · « **Reply #7 on:** August 07, 2008, 03:18:17 PM »

LeeAnne: How tall does your Stuttgart grow? Mine is much taller than what I wanted or expected. It gets 8-10' tall and then it falls over.....

LeeAnne151 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 07, 2008, 07:20:11 PM »

Only about 5'-6' here but we don't have nearly enough sunny warm weather for cannas to be at their best.

That Thalia is huge!

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #11 on:** August 09, 2008, 11:44:29 AM »

Katfish, I stuck a pinch of pennywort to see if it would take. Yes it does! If I keep DH from spraying it!

Love the red stem thalia!!

My garden is filled with gifts grom Mikey, Jerry, Sean, LeeAnne, Joyce, Marilyn C, Theresa and ideas and tips from so many more. Quite literally, my house would look very different had I not discovered this forum.

A big thank you to all.

Mike

LeeAnne151 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 11, 2008, 08:27:56 AM »

You are welcome and thanks right back to you.

Glad you and Mikey decided to meet me at that bar! ....

Some of my friends thought I was crazy for posting that invitation.

One still complains about me spending my 40th in Vancouver with you, Sean, Krista, Ed and Ken instead of letting her throw an over the hill party here. She got me back just now for my 45th though.

Every time we eat at the Rainforest Cafe I think of our first meeting there at Downtown Disney.....

I'm not certain why but the fetching one still enjoys eating there periodically....

PondmaninAL · « **Reply #21 on:** December 08, 2008, 04:55:35 PM »

Just remind me, Lawanna. Give me an idea of what you might want though.

LeeAnne151 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 24, 2008, 11:22:46 AM »

Mikey, I'm surprised you and the Fetching One still speak to MikeW and I considering you didn't get your dinner that night and we were so drunk. Wonder what happened to Max and Eightmeg?
