Those I have always called palmetto bushes.

That's what I've heard them called!! Couldn't remember

 

[Saemma]

friendly too - she rolled over for me to scratch her tummy like the dogs!!

I think she was looking for Mr Whiskers - he adopted us a few months ago and lives in the chicken/goat/duck yard

(I swear there is a sign on my house that says - 'Free Eats Here!')

I think I could dig up a couple, they grow pretty fast and it would be a nice start anyway

Home Depot is on my list for next week too

Very nice Gg!!

Awesome! We don't get dragonflies until summer but it seems spring has already been here since the beginning of the month. Winter just came and gone like a flash; almost didn't notice it this year, really, really strange.

The dryest and warmest winter on record ffor the Maritimes! Crazy!! Altho every year we get hit with a St patty's Day storm... Last year we had ALL of the snow and ice melted off our patio and them BAM 3 ft of snow 2 days later!

ok Rhapis palm is soft

Titanis, I saw bugs in the front of the house-a dragonfly Spring is coming

I had my first small spider crawl on me tonight!!!

here's a pic of the spikes on my teenager size pygmy

that's because you sent it here! we had snow for the first time in 18 years

Same here. Actually, pretty much the entire eastern half of Canada, meaning everywhere east of Manitoba where the vast majority of the population lives, has experienced a winter with less precipitation (of all types), warmer average temps and a shorter season overall. There might be some exceptions but that's the picture I'm getting, generally speaking. So, most of the adverse conditions of intense cold and record snowfalls have been largely south of the border this year.

Snow? What snow??

Love your kitty, BTW. Silver mackerel tabby?

thanks! I thought she was pretty!!!
I imagine she belongs somewhere in the neighborhood - she was outside when I went to take pics and rolled over for a tummy rub

we have a black tom that adopted us several months ago - I feed him and he suns in the pen with the goat and chickens

I have never gotten any closer than 3-4 feet from him, at least he doesn't run off when I show up with food anymore

and snow - look here:

You are both welcome. Thing about them that is weird, like Martine said something about them poking out of the yard, or wherever..I have seen them stay in this stage for seemingly ever, not growing. It may be because they keep getting hacked by the lawnmower, and have to keep growing back. Tough little plants, , they seem to have a sawtooth edge.
