Here is the final photo I am posting. Photo # 43 is a group photo of Satakentia liukiuensis. It is my hope that you enjoyed viewing the photos as much as I enjoyed seeing it up close and in person. It was 93 degrees F when I took these photos.

Many of these palms not looking so good 11 years later. Many perished. No mulch or any mineral supplements for many years is evident. :crying:

Wow that’s a shame. Maybe budget cutbacks and/or change of gardener? It probably would have been quite spectacular.

That Garden was designed by Dan Keyes, who has the time was the Public Works director for the City of Coral Gables, and the Vice President of the South Florida Palm Society. I grew most of those palms. They were much harder to source back in those days. Dan planted just about every cool thing that he could get his hands on. It's a shame if the City of Coral Gables didn't keep it up. It used to look amazing.
