Having looked through all your pictures taken out the front of your houses, I hardly feel mine is worthy. However, here is a picture taken this morning from our front window.  |

Took this today at 3:55pm (still quite light ) from the bedroom window - I was trying to snap the starlings 'swarming' again - but the view isn't too bad  x Tig  |

Taken this morning. I did not have much sleep, OH has a cold and makes THAT noise very convincingly. So I blame him for the interesting angle in the pic. My car will begin to slowly roll out of the frame any moment now ;D  |

I am not playing One side we have a lovely industrial estate.... other 3 sides...? houses. poo Mmmm know what you mean CPB, mines not brilliant from the front and one side of me I can't see without looking over and the other side is too close. Some of the photo's on here are lovely and it does make you a tadge envious. Still at least we've all got our lovely gardens |

My front is also my back, and vice-versa, because I live in what they call a quarter or quadrant house, which is a block of 4 and we all have a corner each I have only one door, which I call the front door, even though it's at the back of the block.  Being at the back means I have no road frontage, and my back/front garden is very secluded, overlooking open ground with shrubs and trees. So, taken on this gorgeously sunny but VERY cold morning (have never had such a hard frost in my sheltered little corner plot  )  And a view down through the birches and shrubs...  And the huge and lovely Oak which supplies most of the birdlife I see.....  So that's my "Out the Front....er...Back" |

I think your froback is lovely!
Is that a yucca in the last pic? Or are there palms growing down/up your froback?

I'm not really sure what it is Dutchy  Its about 10ft tall, only one stem/trunk, and has never had any flower that I could see. I always assumed it was a Phormium (NZ Flax) but now you've made me have a look at Yuccas I'm not so sure....I can't see the stem properly cos of a high fence.... |

10 feet Can't possibly be a Yucca then. I have never heard of a yucca that big. Phormium is much more likely then. |

Looks like a cordyline to me.....

Post by roan on Dec 30, 2007 21:48:56 GMT
It doesn't look like a NZ Flax, far too tall as they grow like bushes, so Cordyline is my pick too.

I agree it looks just like the plant that the seeds fell off into my pocket when I went to the garden centre. |

Post by nightowl on Jan 1, 2008 14:01:13 GMT
Cordyline...never thought of that (not very up on those types of plant cos not got room for one)  I bow to superior knowledge Thank you. Do Cordylines have a flower, because I'm fairly sure this doesn't? Carolann, did your stolen fallen seeds germinate ok? |
