MA. I've been out on the scooter to see what John has done and I
did a check where I had him plant the small plants from you.
The Colocasia illustris is looking good and I have 2 that look
the same .I think they are both Alocasia macrorrhiza,perhaps you
put in 2 of those .They were very tiny but have doubled in size.
Now I see how big they grow I wll have to get John to move them
later on.
Today John cleared an area under the trees where it gets dappled sun through.I am going to get him next week to plant out a number of
Gingers comprising , Globba ,Heliconia ,Costus ,Hedychium,
Siponochilus,Zingber ,.Alpina .16 plants in all .
The lady I got my Plumeria from [local] has quite a lot of Gingers.
Now she is doing lots of Adenium.------- ------

John is in for a busy time Gwen 
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

Sorry Gwen those names dont mean a thing to me I will have to look then up 
I do understand the names of the Gingers though I will google Adenium later.

We had chicken for tea tonight... picked up a BBQ one from IGA and some fresh crusty bread rolls as I knew I was going to be late home tonight so no time to cook tea... great with salad  The cat gets the parsons nose here though my sister loves it.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.

Oh yes I have one of those long wooden back scratchers that look like a fork.
I cant live without it as Tony is not always where I am.
