Manambe Lavaka Garden Update 2017

[MattyB]

Hey Y'all.  It's been a while since I've posted pics of the garden.  It's been a good growing season so let's dig in and be like Kris and share those beautiful stills.

 

Dypsis heteromorpha, upright and weeping forms.

Bizmarckia and Ravenea xerophila

Bizzy on left.  Copernicia alba and Copernicia prunifera on right.  Don't ask me which though.  I think the alba is on the left and prunifera is on the right.

[MattyB]

3 Triangles and some Brahea decumbens below.  One of the B. decumbens set seed this summer.

whoa!!! It has grown a bunch since my last visit

[MattyB]

Another Dypsis heteromorpha....serious beefcake going on here.  Looks like a triangle hybrid.  From the other angle you can see a small Licuala peltata 'sumwongii' doing very well.

Pseudophoenix trio:  sargentii, ekmanii, vinifera

[MattyB]

Dypsis clumper.  Onily or baronii of some sort.

Purple King Palms, grown from seed from Steve Huston's Urban Rainforest back in the day.

Overview of the rainforest area.  Dypsis decipiens.  A few different Coccothrinax, one of which is pushing 20' tall.

[MattyB]

Let's go into the rainforest trails.  It's hard to take pics in here now, but it's an immersive experience with the narrow trail and being completely enveloped by the plants now.

[MattyB]

Teddys, Ravenea glauca, Dypsis ankaisenensis.

[MattyB]

And we'll finish it off with a Copernicia macroglossa growing surprisingly well.  Thanks for taking the 2017 tour.  Peace in the Middle East.

Awesome garden!!! Incredible growth for such a short period of time. When is the garden tour coming to your house? Would love to see the 4 forms of heteromorpha in person along with all your other awesome palms and plants. Such great diversity in your planting.
