Tracy 4,443 Report post Posted September 3, 2017 I visited my rental in Carlsbad today to trim a couple of things, so had an opportunity to shoot a couple of photos. So today's favorite, after that visit is my Bismarckia nobilis. Tomorrow's another day and probably a different favorite! 4 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is this Sabal mauritiiformis today, which I grew from a small 1 gallon plant and thought it would never trunk. I always enjoyed the color contrast between the underside and tops of the leaves. When it was small and erupting leaves from the ground, few people would believe me when I said it was a palm and that it would eventually have a trunk. 5 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
palmfriend 1,459 Report post Posted September 10, 2017 Hello there, since my Clinostigma samoense`s new leaf is getting longer and longer - I am simply overwhelmed by its exotic appearance. The new leaf is almost 3ft long - I am really looking for its first pinnate one. best regards - Lars PS: My thoughts are at the moment permanently with our palmtalkers in Florida - please stay safe! 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kekoanui 86 Report post Posted September 19, 2017 8 year oldCarpoxylon macrospermum. This particular palm lives on water from my downspout, has survived the winter of 2009-2010 and just pulled thru Hurricane Irma 1 block off the ocean in Satellite Beach. What is interesting is the grower on Merritt Island had a very low mortality rate for this species in the nursery. I have had other friends try this palm in 9B with no success. Can't wait 'til dis buggah really blows up! 2 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Missi 925 Report post Posted September 19, 2017 Well, since my previously mentioned gem is now deceased...I guess my runner up is my Salacca multiflora for now. It's really grown on me, no pun intended. It's a neat plant. Hope I didn't just jinx it, like I must have with my Sabinaria 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is absolutely breath-taking in person. Can't wait until mine gets larger. It's poking along in its young age right now... 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave, here are those (actually two!) beauties right now - photo taken 30 mins ago. Bounced back completely and are a great joy everytime I look at them. Veitchia joannis are a great 'gem' definitely but at the moment another one is ranking up rapidly... I cleared a whole spot just for this fella - a seed grown bizzie I planted out almost two months ago... ...and right now - photo taken moments ago, too. It seems that it is adjusting itself pretty well to its new spot/home and starts to feel comfortable. best regards from Okinawa - Lars 5 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chad2468emr 93 Report post Posted November 19 (edited) Come on, maaaaan! You guys are killing me! I need a house I actually OWN so I can get these darn palms into the ground and actually watch them trunk, haha. While I have a ton of species that are going to be show stoppers in the future for me like A. vestiaria, B. alfredii, A. purpurea, and more that I’m itching to see get large, being limited to potted palms with minimal space they’re mostly seedlings for now. As things stand, my L. peltata var. sumawongii is really thriving. I bought / re-potted the thing in August and it put out two new fans by October which is REALLY fast from what I’ve grown to understand and I was thrilled. It’s surely slowed down to just about nothing in the cooler weather, though. My second fav to that is my A. alexandrae pair, though I just bought them last weekend so I can’t really take credit for any success just yet, haha. They’re the first palms I own that actually have TRUNK though, so I often find myself staring at them in admiration. Also, @DoomsDave, nice teddies you got there. Here’s mine. It’s not the size that matters.... right? .... RIGHT!? Edited November 19 by chad2468emr 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chad2468emr 93 Report post Posted November 19 Also, I somehow forgot about my C. renda. Small and showing no red, YET, but it’ll be a show stopper any day now (any.... day.... now....) for sure! Even if it is a baby and I’ve had to take it inside twice so far this because because it got down into the FRIGID 50’s at night. Haha 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
