I see you have the rare 'Roystonia sp BrownTip'... I have a few of those.

If global warming means I can grow Cocos Nucifera, then bring it on....

Nice jungly landscape effect Paul. And good diversity of species. A question though....

How much water does it take to keep everything there alive and growing. Oh, another question...

What area of land does your garden cover?

And...

What's the coldest recorded temp in your garden?

regards,

Daryl

Thanks Paul, doing well for an uncompromising climate, the word here is endurance and it relates to the palms and the grower. I love the close encounter density.............this means something.

Must be time for a lot of us to show our current gardens. :unsure: who goes next ?

after Paul's complete showing of course

Happy Gardening

Cheers,

Great looking garden Paul! I also love the density, now you need piped in sounds of Howler monkeys to make the jungle complete.. I'm not too familiar with Aregas (outside of engleri). Are those spines I'm looking at? Very cool.
