Howdy... Been on the road for a few days, so I'm tardy getting back to you all.....
Thank you for the compliments...
Mikey... Where in the Pacific NW? We have been fortunate enough to live in Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, California and Utah... And though I miss the warm places; I really thank my lucky stars to be able to finish my working career up here.... If I need hot and dry I can go to Eastern Oregon or Eastern Washington in the summer, and the same places for cold and snow in the winter... If I want temperate, damp and warm in the winter, and uh, ......damp and warm in the summer........I stay on the coast side of the Cascades.... LOL... the last several summers have been absolutely beautiful on this side of the mountains ..... If we really need a shot of sunshine we go to Hawaii for awhile...
Joyce... I've been searching for the tag for that plant, but 6 years ago might be asking too much for my level of organization.. and in any case, the tag could be wrong as you suggest.... I get many comments regarding it from visitors, everyone thinks it is a palm.... Do Yucca flower? This plant has never shown any inclination to send any type of flower or seed up..... Anyway,.. we just like the tropical look it imparts......
Teresa.. We are Zone 8 here, probably very similar to Atlanta in temperature.... and usually only have one or two snow events per year...
Thanks again... Dave
