    Hi Phillip,

    Welcome to Gardenstew from Chelmsford Massachusetts USA where the cold fall air has shut down the outside garden activity but the inside plants are having a party. :)

    Hello Phillip from Nebraska USA. I had the opportunity to visit your beautiful country in 1981. I loved it over there.
    Welcome to Garden Stew, you will like it. Loads of fun, good advice, and the friendliest people!

    Hello! I'm from Texas now though I've lived many other places. It's cold here today though it's been fairly warm until yesterday.
    I've been here on the Stew since 2005 and I can't miss a day of it without missing it.
    I used to have chickens and ducks and goats and geese. We just have a dog now.

    Welcome to the Stew from the unseasonally icy cold Norwegian north-west coast. Brrr! I'd love to see some photos from your area. I trust it's still green? :stew2:

    Hello and welcome from Greenbrier, Tennessee. My ancestors were from Ireland. They came over to America on the Mayflower. Not sure why they wanted to leave such a beautiful place. GDC/ Doyle McClung

    Marvelous :D
    Simply gorgeous.
    Is that perhaps an Agave or a Phormium (just in front of the pink rose)?

    Almost certain its a "Spanish Bayonet",.."Yucca Aloifolia",..i have two,..one growing in a container,..they were shoots at the base of a tree which was over 8 foot high.
