I know its been done before here. The Moose got up early to prepare the Turkey (in the oven at 5:45 am). Cranked up on a pot of coffee - a predawn saunter with a camera produced these pictures this morning. Please feel free to add to the parade! :)

Contest - whoever can name all the crotons photos I post this morning gets a 25lb Turkey as a prize. :eek:

Randy - Jeff has unfortunately seen many a garden's demise after the property ownership has changed. John Bender's garden from what I have been told wasjust incredible. If you saw it today - it is just short of being criminal. :mad:
 
Last years parade. It was great to review this thread, now I realize how much they have come along in a years time.

Anyone care to try ID's? :p I was a little confused on some of them briefly.:confused:

Please feel free to add your bling to the parade! ;)
 
Ron,

Another year has come and gone. And I'm thankful to be a part of this great group of people. Ron, were a year closer to a tour of the Mooseland too.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Post #1 Photo #4 is a croton that I got tagged as Red Banana. Not 100% convinced that this name is correct. Since the original photo in this thread was posted, it got very leggy so 4 small air layers were made. Here is an updated photo of the same plant this morning.

Post #2 Photo #7 is Sybil Griffin.

Here are some shots of Sybil Griffin from this morning. Still not enough light to bring out her full potential. Not much growth in the last year because of shading. The stems have gotten much thicker.
