jungle mama:
A mere shadow of me assessing Irma's mayhem
jungle mama:
Irma snapped, lifted and launched my plant-adorned palm
jungle mama:
Irma tore my palm out of the ground and tossed it on the garage, precious plants still attached
jungle mama:
Courtyard palm was snapped off and tossed on our living room roof
jungle mama:
The top of my Valentine Hoya entwined palm was snapped off by the wind
jungle mama:
Bobcats and loaders are hauling my jungle away!
jungle mama:
My 75 foot Ceiba near-missed my neighbor's house
jungle mama:
My house is under there somewhere!
jungle mama:
The branches have been cut to reveal holes in roof
jungle mama:
Alas, my 12 huge Ficus is being cut apart and hauled away
jungle mama:
The twisted remains of my sacred spicky Ceiba!
jungle mama:
All that remains of my beloved overarching Ficus Tree
jungle mama:
Giant root ball of my 75 foot Cieba waiting to be hauled away
jungle mama:
My previously lovely Chinese gate is now in pieces
jungle mama:
No more ficus, no more shade... my jungle is gone
jungle mama:
Fortunately Ficus fell on double end wall
jungle mama:
Our 12 trunk Ficus was upended by a tornado spawned by Hurricane Irma
jungle mama:
Ficus trees send down aerial roots that fuse together to become trunks
jungle mama:
All that's left of our Ceiba Tree are 42" diameter chunks
jungle mama:
Red rootlets... tornado-torn Ficus trying to regrow
jungle mama:
This Little Red Hen came tapping on my sliding glass door mid hurricane
jungle mama:
Sawdust covered Ceiba trunk is already sprouting... life after Irma
jungle mama:
What remains of my beloved 75 ft Ceiba Tree
jungle mama:
Bright green stretch marks of fast growing Ceiba growing no more
jungle mama:
The trees are gone so I am building a bamboo enclosure to give us privacy
jungle mama:
Bamboo enclosure in place of our giant Ficus Tree
jungle mama:
Crystal Temple built atop hurricane-destroyed Bismarckia palm stump
jungle mama:
St. Donald and the bamboo enclosure
jungle mama:
The road back to our Japanese garden... day one
jungle mama:
Buddha bench is surrounded with stonelike Sansevieria cyclindrica
