A couple of rare Chamaerops forms

One with miniature leaves (Darold's hand for leaf size comparison)

post-3501-12731646054112_thumb.jpg

The next one, Darold told me, is an upright form that does not produce suckers

Not sure what the name is, but this is a rare-in-cultivation Peruvian plant, that Darold collected on his trip to Machu Pichu

I would need some ID help from Darold here

Darold's manhandling a Linospadix (monostachys?) below, and I believe the photo above shows Laccospadix, but I am not at all certain.

More palms where ID help is needed

Bottom photo: baby Anthuriums? A cloud-forest variety, perhaps?

Darold,

Your garden as well as the others are absolutely beautiful. You've created a tropical looking paradise by using cold hardy palms, ferns and other fillers. I'm impressed!

Febuary 2013 update/bump- bumpdate of Darold Petty's garden.

So i finally took Darold up on his invitation to see his garden and WOA!!! im blown away. I will be dreaming of Rhopalostylis, Geonomas and Parajubaea for awhile.

Pictures really dont do the place justice but i will post some more injustices anyways. ;)

The front. Great composition of plants with the P. cocoides as the centerpiece.

IMG_3874_zps518f0a07.jpg

Ceroxylon parvifrons with a bit of flower action going on.

IMG_3875_zps6848184d.jpg

I could look at that trunk all day! oh and some Chamaedorea radicalis "tree form". I had to pay the price of admission by taking 6 seedlings of these palms off Darolds hands. You cant beat that! Thanks Darold. :D

Rhopalostylis sapida "oceana" ?

IMG_3817_zpsbff34b64.jpg

Rhopalostylis ????? im gonna say "banana slug"?

walking through the backyard was like swimming in a sea of Howea leaves. In a few years it will be a great canopy.

some very hairy waggys, looking more like wookiees.

Thanks for posting ,having seen Darolds garden myself i can definitely say that pictures don't do it Justice .

The Pritchardia was P minor

The Rhopalostylis oceana is Chatham islands variety .

Seeing the Dypsis baronii doing so well has inspired me to plant one of mine out as we have similar climates .

Thanks to all for the generous compliments! I don't consider myself to be a superior grower, just an old one with a mature garden! :mrlooney:

Post #11 shows Prestoea acuminata, the same plant is Post #64. This plant is a willing grower, but is always marred by leaflet die-back, (brown tipping).

#12 shows Laccospadix. #39 is Chamaedorea plumosa. # 49 is Laccospadix. #55 is Howea forsteriana, which throws a dull, reddish-maroon new leaf.

#56 is a simple-leafed terrestrial Anthurium from Machu Picchu

(ethically sourced from the landscaped grounds of the MP Sanctuary Hotel by permission of the gardener)

#60 My house is NOT so orange!! What's up with Eric's camera? LOL!

#63 is Dypsis baronii.

The orchid is Masdevallia veitchiana 'Sol' HCC/AOS.

A few days ago on another thread there was a reference to Parajubaea cocoides declining after robust early growth. Lately I have noticed that my plant is holding far fewer fronds. Contrast the crown in Post # 1 and the recent one posted by Eric. I am becoming concerned about this and would welcome further thoughts. I can't find the other thread with the da** search feature. Thanks

Darold, sorry for the uber saturation. I just got the camera and am still learning the settings. :wacko:

The crown definitely looks less full than post #1

Could it be a problem with the day length? Since Parajubaea are from an area much closer to the equator they naturally get much more sun than in SF.

heres an interesting thread i found on cloundforest.com. They mention your garden a few times lol
