Pictures from a few days ago.

Since it was 78, I was in the mood to take a few pictures after we got 4 inches of rain in 1 day. My apologies if you saw these in the Facebook group.

One of my Live oaks. It was given to me as a sapling. The mother is from Columbia, TN. It's in shedding season.

Yuccas.

Sometimes I trim this Needle. The minor to the left has louisiana in it.

My neighbor gave me a cutting of her yucca and it multiplies nicely so I have it in a couple places.

The seedling to the right and the minors in the background are all Tennessee Vols (aka volunteers).

This palmetto pushing out another spear.

Southern pine needles fighting with Bermuda grass starting to green up from winter.

Birds stole this moss from my crepe myrtles to build a nest in a Weeping mulberry. Now the moss has started to expand and grow in the Weeping mulberry.

Same neighborhood, six houses down.

Thanks!

Looking good in Nashville Tommy, and looks like a rainy week ahead as we creep closer to spring. Willow trees are greening streaming and ornamental peach or cherry trees are just now beginning to bloom.

All your plants look great! That palmetto is looking good and is starting to get a nice trunk. Are the variegated Yuccas Gloriosa? I have a variegated Gloriosa that looks like that.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Tom! I honestly do not know my yuccas so I could not tell you.

Definitely try some moss on it Will. It grows well on Crepe Myrtles.

Everything looks so green! The needle palm is getting huge, and I love seeing palmettos thrive outside of their native range. The live oak and Spanish moss look very happy. I'd love to get a live oak for my parents' yard in NY!

I'm glad the neighbors are getting in on the tropical look also.

Thanks Alex! You should see the green now that we are at 12 inches of rain for the month. It's like Ireland.

Wow 12 inches of rain, that's unreal! I'm sure there are new rainfall records left and right across the area. Better than snow though!
