Default Look at what i found
was just in Lowe's minding my own biz getting some compost for the Bio project when what did my wandering eyes behold but a 6ft tall Ensete Ventricosum Maurellii in the middle of Las Vegas in 11 years of living here i never ever saw one before in a Lowe's no less heres the pics its woefully underpoted so guess what I'm doing today it got a bit beat up on its way home as i was in the Honda S2000 convertible which is only a two seater
and i already had two bags of Seder chips and 5 bags of compost

I have you, a cool looking convertible and Mr. Plant sitting next to you pictured vividly! ... did you have the radio on? Where there's a will there's a way. What a great addition to your collection!

Great haul Paulo!

...But where is the pix of you in the S2000 with the 'naner and your sexy shades and a cigar for prop? Hey man, not that I don't trust ya, gotta have evidence in style man!
....the backdrop should be a bunch of scantily clad Vegas gals looking in astonishment. Makes a great cover pix for the next Bananas Quarterly!

whoohoo, congrats, Paulo. I'm sure you'll have it looking great in no time.

btw, I've been wondering how your Ae Ae is doing. I remember how yours had skinny leaves like one of mine did, I wondered if they were both really something else. However, mine put out a new leaf last week which is big and wide, just like hey should be. Makes me curious how yours is doing.

Cheers,

Harvey

Great pics! I just bought an Ensete Ventricosum 'Maurelii' myself! Mine isn't nearly so large as yours right now, though. They are definitely fast growers...enjoy!

heres the Pics you asked for sorry i don't have any one to take them for me so no shades LOL







And just to keep this a little on the garden theme you can see the edge of the front yard were i removed all the gravel and replaced the soil adding bio char those palm tree roots were hell to save as i was digging around

PS not to brag but look at how green and verdant my yard is compared to the ones of my nabers they hate me LOL
