Looking good Pedro! I like the broms on the tree and everything else looks great!

[LJG]

Great shots Pete. I like how you put the brims in the palm trunk crack. I think I will have to try that.

Basselinia caught my eye! Be proud to have that bad boy in your stable!

[Pedro 65]

Palmdude, thanks , the broms are on a Bismarkia trunk.

Len, thanks, I added 2 pics with the pics of a colourful Aussie shrub that would look good at yours, they have great colour and lovely weeping foliage, its Breynia Iron range from FNQ and tough as nails.

Ive started putting mini broms on the Bismarkia and will keep on adding them for some colour

Andrew, glad the Basselinia caught your eye. ( was a good thread that

Rafael...Note the Arenga pinnata is "still flowering" but has yet to set seeds, I havnt forgotten.

Nice pedro. I've only recently realised that companion plants really set off palms. Palms are fantastic in their own right, but the right accompanying plant and placement can take the area to the next level. I guess that's what everyone likes about gardening, you never stop learning.

Pete, I grow Breynia disticha. I Googled yours and it really is an undescribed species called "Breynia sp. Iron range" Very cool looking plant.

Your triple planting of Alba looks great too.

Terrific pics Pete, that condapanna is really starting to fatten up nicely, looks great, I'm with Andrew mate that Basselinia is a beeeeeauty, such a beautiful looking palm, don't you love this time of year, puts a spring in one's step, pardon the pun..

Thanks for posting

I always enjoy your photos, Pete, and your garden provides a seemingly endless supply of colors and textures for the camera lens.

Thanks Philippe, and Happy belatedB/day to you too, the Dypsis is D ampasindavae, below is it today, the colour is different each new leaf.

Wimmie thanks, the seeding cycad is Encephalartos senticosus, and they are all infertile as it wasnt pollinated.
