E tegulaneus

It may only be one seed on this dypsis species, but a great sign for better things to come, it will set seeds!

There like a chamaedorea on steroids, nice palms! Richard

I think we went with Arenga to start off with?

The soil originally came from an area near dog kennels (a puppy farmer) I was suspect at the start of receiving the soil by the smell of it. So gosh knows what kinda sour soil I got and what pathogens were in it. Having already had trouble in that part of the garden led me to think sour soil. Time will tell, I don’t think it’s Phytophera but whatever it is it’s not good!

Oleracea!

This monkey’s going to heaven 🤣

Yes , it looks like Roystonia , they do well out there if they get enough water. Harry

Dave, I have 60 3 year old Sabal miamiensis seedlings in bands on the side yard like the trashy elitist east coast trash that they are, waiting to get sold on ebay. I just have to list them first. Major catch-22. I have about 80 dypsis onilahensis seedlings in a community pot that probably should have been out of a community pot like a year ago....

Thanks for your interest 94Z! I have your padded envelope prepared and I'll have it in the mail on Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for reaching out.

Thanks Richard and Harry. I've placed it in my warm shadehouse so will see and hope she recovers. 🤞

Cycas debaoensis was pollinated with C tropophylla x C mitcholitzi to create this hybrid. I grew out several plants and chose a unique pair for breeding. Father has a nice plumose leaf and mother has a unique metallic green / blue leaf. Leaves can be undulated (ruffled) tripinnate (or sometimes bi-pinnate). These are 2026 1 leaf seedlings with a soild root system. Plants are ready to push a new leaf.

Nice experiment regardless Tracy.. It just adds to the collective knowledge. I tried crossing a male Chamaedorea woodsoniana with a female tepilijote last year, thinking it would be a slam dunk. Nature had other ideas, not one seed. Later on, I got him together with a woodsoniana girl next door and.. hundreds of seeds. I can live with that..

Some blueberries on the dreadlocks. Also my breakfast raspberry substitute fresh off the guava tree. Yellow.

50/50 on that one @Jonathan you could grow kiwi fruit, but as for coconuts. I think you should try at least just to show us your refrigerator grow skills!

Here’s the duo of both varieties, slow in my climate, water lovers and Iam surprised they have taken temperatures as low as 2 degrees celcius. Both varieties planted in the ground and rostrata seems to be wining the race in growing the best.

Clearly an AI image...a slice of kiwifruit on top of a coconut!

Great song, great album!

I didn't have any stormy weather at my house yesterday but it did start to rain around 4:30 and continued for at least 2 hours. It was light steady rain, the kind that really soaks in. The closest county rain gauge read 0.5". This is my 3rd summer here and the first that I'm getting rain, its really awesome.

Hydriastele splendida living up to its name. Tim

Hey Brad, you might give it another go. Mine burned literally for years before acclimating to its full sun location. I should have took the hint that in habit it lives its young life on the forest floor in considerable shade. Well, now it’s a neck breaker. I need to post an updated photo, it will give me something to do. Tim

Calyptrocalyx albertisianus popped a new leaf. Blue sky……a rarity lately. Tim

Brassia Edvah Loo 'Nishida’. These take up so much room in the house. I have three of them. In the winter, I always want to throw them out. But when they bloom, I love them all over again.

I figured they were probably doomed but I'll hang on to them for now. I've seen other types of plants that start white and green up over time so I was wondering if anyone had seen it happen with these.
