Again!

I love Nephrosperma vanhoutteanum:

for those who like Phoenix:

Can you ID this palm?

I am afraid this very old Oncosperma filamentosum is at the end, loosing trunks after trunks.... I like it and found 5 seeds, I hope they'll grow

do you also have a palm sp. in your garden?

some more:

Licuala grandis in the fernery:

palm avenues:

Metroxylon rumphii: do all Metroxylon species have such colorful new leaf?

I like all the photos but the Nephrosperma really caught my eye.

Initially I thought I'd avoid planting spiny palms. Then I couldn't resist the Verschaffeltias and Phoenicophoriums and others including a Nephrosperma. No palm will power I guess.
