Why yes Jenny,
Carol doesn't know it, but our first layover will take place at the
Alohahoya ranch- about 4 days- while Shari makes sure our paper work is in perfect order (really just to build anticipation) - At which time during those 4 days you join us we have a big party (mabe some of Carols favorite Volley ball activities *wink*)
Then we'll descend on Kwadj, where Shari will have to come and talk us out of Customs as they'll be holding us for suspiscion of plant smuggling- after that's sorted out..the party will begin!
The "Jungle" is now in session
Oh, that sounds just perfect! Must get that passport thingy started right away.
Sounds like a plan to me...but maybe I better join you guys at Carol's (need to see the lava tube), then I'll be on the plane with you to make sure that my friends at the airport let you through...why postpone a party for a customs hassle???
Even better...see...I knew the anticipation would work...
I just heard Guam had a 6.7 earthquake
This world is crumbling beneath us.
The "Ring of Fire" seems fairly active lately
The way I feel about Guam - it could sink, and as long as all the people were okay that would be fine with me. Hope no one was hurt in the quake.
It really is a pit. I actually met someone who LOVED living there. Hmmmmm.
Sorry if I am offending anyone, but I would question that person's sanity. Although I have heard that the other end of the island - away from all the hotels and faux shopping - is really nice. Not eager to run over and try it though.
Christi, this is for you. I remember you asking how big the rubber trees get.
This is a section of a rubber plant that I split into 3 plants a few years ago. Now they are all as big as the original split.
This gives an idea how big the leaves are..this is the new tips unfurling.
and sadly, the pathetic appearance of clematis..this is when I have zone envy because I really love clematis..and and still figuring out how to get them to grow in ernest here.
but..compensation abound...this solanum seaforthum..something like that ..blooms away all the time..constantly..I believe I sent one up there Christy.

there is debate on whether this is the pagoda or not..I say not
bought some Sau paper umbrellas, and they fit the statue just fine.
This terracotta griffen was spray painted with gold, copper and green colors
That griffen looks as if he is casting a spell on that bud. lol!!!
a recent visitor was astounded at how tall the brugs were. These are by the green house
I'm here to say..these papaya are mighty tasty and sweet this year!
a great advantage of tall Brugs, is standing underneath them for photos.

This is the new brug...I've no idea what it is...I've kept the actual plant thwarted for several years because of space confinement. Several years ago, some members sent me a couple of boxes of cuttings..who knows what else I have that will be a surprise brug!. This one has a very droopy hang straight down habit. It's peach colored.
nother one..anyone recognize it
