Brief before and after

I am really just messing around with my new phone here but it seems for the first time ever I have worked out how to gets pics on pt from my phone, if that's the case watch out... There could be an avalanche coming??

First pic taken 20 October 2011

Second pic taken from same spot today 13 April 2014

Very nice Ben ! Is the variegated plant some form of yucca ??

[Kennybenjamin]

Matty, I acquired and planted the dypsis as a double stemmed ambositrae, it appears many times faster than other "standard" ambo's around here. I have posted it a couple of times and the consensus appears to be kindreo? I am not aware of any around here the same as this one? Who knows, I just hope it flowers in the next few years?

Troy the variegated plant is an agave of some sort, sorry I don't have the botanical name handy? Very bloody spikey though!! I mainly planted it because my wife wanted agave attenuata but they are too common for my liking so this guy went in instead. I tell her that it's her plant now but I will no doubt be the one to have to maintain the bugger. Nice accent plant but it's dangerous in the wrong spot !

Ben,

Looks great! That's quite a transformation in 2.5 years! Is the avalance on hold?

I still haven't mastered the photo to PT via mobile Ben. Look forward to more. Think I'll go take some pics now while I'm here in Beerwah and everything's nice and wet.
