Update and an Upgrade?

[Robiii]

So here's hopefully what you've been waiting for. Still having troubles with a few things mainly growth rates (at least in comparison to some of you out there) but also some pest issues which seem to be depleting themselves since I haven't been doing that much more been letting nature take control, as long as she's giving (rain). I got some of my favorite "props" since Sam had inspired the concept more so, though background and nursery mate plants is I guess more a coincidence. Always have loved the local trees though the Big Island puts most to shame here IMO, ( ohia/koa trees as well as the ferns). And now I'm going to attempt from least impressive (size, color, etc) to most impressive show offs of recent months since a few were taken awhile ago.
