Look at all the wee Ernie’s !!! The more the merrier , I see. Harry

Can someone please identify what kind of bromeliad this is:

Yeah it hasn’t rained in about a month. Does watering with a hose not work the same?

Yep. It’s true. I’m the Cheetos.

Chamaedorea Radicalis

You don’t want to spike a royal get a ladder or a pole saw and cut one off!!!

It’s a real thing guys. Here’s the proof.

April is pretty much the end of our wet season, the occasional light sprinklings in May are the last until September or October. Things are starting to dry out already. April brought 171.6mm. The Wet from 1 September to 1 May totalled 2865mm for 140 rain days. A neighbour a half kilometer away recorded 3021mm. April Av. max. 34.2 Av. min. 23.1 UV index 10

Still undecided Jim. If you see a news report about a dead older guy at the base of a palm tree, just remember that Steve made me do it..

A beautiful part of the world!

Lucky to find both varieties, there would be no chance of finding the Vietnam variety in Australia!

I’m guessing you’re joking about the climbing spikes! 🙂

25 off the 15 gallon super silver for the next 24 hours so 100 for 15 gallon slamming deal beautiful palm

Great, thanks for your advice! I won't be worried about overwatering them then. I already have a drip irrigation system, and I might put a saucer under the pot. You have a magnificent spot and beautiful palm trees; you can consider yourself lucky! 🤩

A full monty photo and details of the leaflets at different points along the rachis will be helpful to get an answer. I can't think of any Dioons with a caudex that fat. The caudex looks more like an Encephalartos. That is why leaflet details are important.

Just snapped these pics just now. Seeding for the first time. Definitely faster in sun than shade. She gets sun all day now.

Update on this tall skinny Jack without copious blooms:

It is strange that this specimen never lost its leaves:

Correction I promised! I hope I got it right. I am just a day trader:

I am hopeful that this is a Geiger/Cordia sebestena:

Areca vestiaria , Calyptrocaylx pachystachys, Camadorea geonomiformis $1 each, mix and match, $9 US ONLY shipping, $20 dollar of seed minimum includes mandatory USDA inspection out of Honolulu

Steve, That's why I come to this forum; for out-of-the-box thinking like that. I'll be renting some climbing spikes on the way home, so stay tuned.. 😑 Bret

I had heard from a source and later verified through iNaturalist that Sabal uresana and rosei appear to hybridize in Sinaloa. South of where they overlap rosei is solely a green species, but blue ‘hybrids’ can be found in habitat overlap . Not definitive but definitely strong evidence.

Yes thank you
