A nice mealy bug palm......wait, that's a Kentiopsis oliviformis. I'm joking relax! :blink:

Is that the palm that almost knocked the Earth out of orbit? Seriously, nice gardens and photos...Bob :)

What happened to the Cycad pics? Did Paul go into overload and delete them :D

It has been determined that their whereabouts will be undetermined.

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Observe carefully while BS Man transitions from Stick Pose to Downward Facing Dog.... :lol: Or is that Naughty Dog Pose?

I was told if I could make it to the door before Joe called the police, I could have the palms for free. Then he told me to wait a minute, he couldn't remember the number to 911.

Pretty sad that the 2 little Basselinia favieri I bought could be held in my right hand in that pose and I still wouldn't lose my balance.

I must add, Paul has done a fine job of catching my different side, I don't know how many different sides I have, but its alot, and usually with the combo meal.

No, we're waiting for the OK from the next two garden owners, Jon and Guy. We don't want to upset anyone by posting pics of their garden without their expressed consent...which is what happened to several of the other pictures in this thread earlier....if you didn't catch that by now. A small pause until then. Lot's more pics to come though.

Nice garden Joe. Is that a fig tree over your palm area? It's great now for the shade but may be blocking out the palms as they grow. I see that you got rid of the queens in the planter? :unsure:

Thanks, everyone!

The yard is coming along. It will be fun to see how it matures. Should here back from the boys soon so Paul & Matty can post the rest of the pics. Jon & Guy's yard are 10 years older than mine. It's great to see how the palms grow and what they look like in my same climate.

Bill, Bob, Matty, and Paul were all very entertaining to say the least. I hope the PRA team will allow me to join them on their future adventures!

Bigfronds - I don't really know what the tree in my yard is. I do not believe that it is a ficus though. It sits on the North side of the yard so it doesn't block out too much sun. Actually, it creates just the right amount of shade for the palms from the afternoon sun and allows me to plant more understory plants around it. I have not gotten rid of the queens yet as I am hoping someone will take me up on the "FREE" palm offer. If not, I will remove them in the Spring.

Joe,

You have a beautiful yard and will only look better as the years go on and more is planted. You seem quite the popular celeb out there with EVERYONE these days. Your name has come up on more than one ocassion.

pauly,

your pictures are great as usual, and your sense of wit is hilarious. between you and the goofball (BS), I would be alittle scared if you showed up my house. around supper time is when visitors seem to always come. :lol:

and don't forget what i said about,you know. the letter thing, remember?

But a great thread, want to see more pictures, especially cycads. I'm thinking about starting to grow these soon. :)

Joe,

Thanks for the ID!

Obviously my ID was WRONG.

Still amazing how much this looks like my Kentiopsis oliviformis, leaf detail,even to the upright "shuttle cock" crown.

Your yard/garden looks great for the short time you have been working on it!

It's a K.O Joe. You would think you would be able to ID one by now :mrlooney:

Yeah Joe-

Scott and Shon are correct. The C. elegans is JUST visible on the right side of the same picture.

:rolleyes: Sorry/thanks guys...I just remembered the C. Elegans in that location. I was talking to Jon about it and did not pay attention to the K.O. Mine are too small to associate.

Very white petioles. I forgot to take a close up of the flowers, but I did feel them and they weren't sticky at all. And bees were on them so I assume they were at or near anthesis.
