Loving life is a blessing not an addiction. Your garden looks fantastic, love the mix of heights and colors, and the overall diversity of plants. It’s nice to see people taking advantage of all the outdoor space they have even if it’s not massive. My front yard would be a jungle too if only I was allowed to (hoa 🙄).

An obvious candidate that springs to my mind is Ficus rubiginosa. This is an extremely tough species, grows all over eastern Australia from southern NSW to Cape York...right on the coast to hundreds of km inland. Temperatures can range from at least -5c to around 45. I've seen these trees clinging to vertical rock faces in the Warrumbungle range in central NSW, see climate statistics Here for the nearby town of Coonabarabran. Spent the coldest night camping that I can ever remember in that national park a couple of winters ago! I'd be very surprised if this species isn't already pretty common in cultivation in Greece.

Playng where’s Waldo, Brassiophoenix drymophloeoides among friends.

They look great. Hopefully we get a mild winter and they flower for you. If you end up starting some duplicates, I'd try experimenting with one and push it with an obscene amount of fertiliser to see if its possible to get them to flower in a single season.

My female is currently receptive and I'm hoping someone in the US has some.

They're 2 year old seeds, and only one sprouted and then I guess damped off. They've been in a baggie on a heat mat this whole time so I'm not optimistic lol. I think I crushed like 4 seeds cleaning them.

Is this a foxtail palm?

My passion for chamaedorea was all Colin fault, who introduced me to chamaedorea and made me appreciate them.

Wow, that's a lot. I've been doing 16 minutes every four days with some supplemental hand watering to help dissolve the fertilizer. I may have to bump it up as the plants get bigger.

Looks a lot like woodsoniana doing it tough to me - does the inflorescence turn orange eventually?

Heck yeah!!! That's around the time I started getting serious about my landscaping redo, and it was hard to see the vision when they were small dudes... but it's totally worth the wait. I also love all the COLOR you're mixing in, and the layering was well-planned out. Great job! I recognize most of them, but can you confirm ID on the following palms? Photo #1 - Palms on far left & far right. Photo #2 - Both of the taller palms Photo #3 - Large Palm to the right/front of the BBQ.

@happypalms is this a Sari Palm...how tall will it get?

A pack of candied salmon wasn't it?

@JohnAndSancho I'd like one for Christmas 🥴🤪

That time of year again! Harry Dioon Spinalosa with a new flush!

Wow that is awesome. If you need to thin the herd out I'd be grateful for a stem or two. My two clumps are getting pretty big. They're taller than me already so about 7' tall. Ensete ventricosum "Maurellii" in the middle. I'm really liking these just for the foliage so I would like to start spreading them around the garden. These get morning sun with afternoon shade.

I'd like to see what Jelly palms look like out near Pensacola.

Good news but salt water is a much tougher challenge, to the OP, Biz probably wont make it in salt water.

Nice! It’s looking good!

When you’re obsessed with palms, short on space, and totally ignore the ‘space them out’ rule… Fast forward a few years, and boom!

Definitely not great for the native wildlife though that is a nice temperature for swimming. In recent years the warmer sea temps have been brining more wildlife to the UK seas, especially in the south, brining hammerhead sharks, sand tiger sharks and leather back turtles ect.

forgot to mention that i am looking trees like tipuana, ficus, Albizia sinaloensis, trees that are big and create a lush canopy, i don't know if there are more, someone from Arizona can help me (we have almost the same climate)

Got any updated pics of the BxMonty ???

I've seen this map a few times, I'm sure its not 100% accurate but it gives a general idea of the amounts of Sunshine in the two regions.
