I'd never seen Arenga undulatifolia before, huge palm. To the right is Iriartea deltoida and Dypsis baronii.

Here are a few non palm photos and I'm sure someone can confirm.

Striking plant especially with overcast light.

Maybe some sort of Bombax.

Someone thought this might be tumeric. Beautiful flower.

noice palms there fella, bit slimey, but lovely just the same time. ;)

I mean seriously, how can you guys enjoy yourselves when everything grows like that, how terrible it must be not to experience a struggling palm, come through tough winters, to just hang in there and survive. :P

Happy Gardening

Cheers,

Well, here's the last one. Another shot of the small house. Hard to believe where some people have to live. Pretty dreamy stuff.

Great pics Tim! This garden is so wonderfully matured and the palms are TALL!

Could pic 2 in post 42 be L. sumawongii or elegans or whatever its called?

Sigh... Why am I waiting to move? :rolleyes:

Thanks Bo and Tim for the photo tour of this outstanding garden. I'd like to apply for the job of personal chef to the new owners, whoever they turn out to be, just so I might live in the small hale and wake up to those stately palms every morning... :lol: Now that is paradise... Makes some of our California gardens look like palm garden wannabes, oh the sting of palm envy!

good pix,tim!

i agree,the arenga you mentioned is a knock-out! sadly we cant grow them here but i have seen wallichia densifloras that look very similiar so i plan to try one of those instead!

Tim, thanks a lot for posting additional photos. Nicely complimented the areas I happened to miss! And thank you everybody for your comments. Second photo in post #42 - yes, Licuala peltata var. sumawongii, and I am fairly certain that the plant in the first photo in post #45 is the dreaded Miconia, which has invaded Tahiti, and has become a problem in some areas here on the Big Island. Here in Leilani Estates, there's a special "Miconia Team" on a "search and destroy" mission... And Ari, the garden up around the main house is 9 acres. Not sure about the lower part of the valley. After the property was sold several years ago, some of it was subdivided, and some of it had been leased. I believe it's probably around 40-50 acres, but that's just a guess.

Bill,

Your right, it's Licuala peltata Sumawongii.

Back in post #38, the low growing palms are not Asterogyne, maybe a Geonoma species, but I can't be for sure. A very beautiful leaf they have. Thanks for all the good pictures.

PS.....I'd hate to be a fertilizer salesman out there.

Thanks Bo. I was asking because my 5 acres is enough work for me at the moment.... :winkie:

Are you sure the photo in post #45 is not Pentagonia? I might be wrong though.... I have one, but hidden in my overgrown shadehouse at the moment, waiting for enough shade to be planted out. Do you know what tree in the second photo in post #45?? Anyone??

Regards, Ari :)

I think the second tree in 45 might be Pseudobombax eliipticum, but I could be wrong.

Very nice tree..... I guess it is another one to put on the 'Wish List'. Thanks, Peter, my 5 acres is getting full as we speak...

Thanks Bo for the background and description of that incredible garden. Here are a few more shots you might enjoy. One can never have too many images of palms we don't usually encounter. This garden was truly a slice of paradise. I'll try and post the pics in the order of the tour and the species list that was provided.

Archontophoenix purpurea

Sorry to resurrect this one, but I HAVE to know what the palms are in the bottom right corner of this picture. I'm assuming Pinanga but will wait and see the verdict.

Jon, those look like Pinanga to me also... maybe maculata (can't make out leaf tip shape) or most likely caesia? Beautiful species none the less! Good eye! ;)
