Dear William

babies will leave our home to new place,since its going to

be gifted to indian goverment nurseries & highways department.and if i have some to spare they will also go to

my school & collegues where i once studied.

[Rusty on Pine Is.]

Kris, what a beautiful oasis you have created! I really enjoyed seeing the roof top garden, it looks like it too would be a serene place to relax and meditate....even when watering all off the plants you have amassed.

Great work you are doing!

[Kom Thai Palm]

Hello Kris

At this rate within 2-3 years I think I must have same problem like you for reserving space for incoming tons of palms here    badnews or goodnews?

[Kris]

one more has flowered !

if you want to see more of these go to the thread_my cactus has flowered in palapa.

[Kris]

Dear Komikrit  

iam very glad to here that from you ! and we folks should make place for all those palm babies too.

iam seriously thinking of moving to thailand myself,since the

climate in madras is drying my palms sprouts & my brains at

times....

and its very nice to hear from you_my friend !

Love,

Kris  

[Kris]

this adenium was a baby last year,this year i had to change the pot since the terracota pots was giving way.at its feet you will see_breha armeta on one size and a small fan palm on the top rear side.

[Kris]

Once again first floor indoors_its exactly my hall area where

we have our T.V and music system.

in here you can see some washy filibusta's saplings_placed

here since if i keep it outside the squeriels damage it.

[Kris]

New guest's have arrived they are sabal,dypsis,parajubea...

they have come to me from my italian forum friend.

here are the stills,the location is our house first floor.where a

dinning table is supposed to be their but now their are lovely palms...

[Kris]

this guy is also came along with the above folks..

[Kris]

Dear Friends  

this is the area where i allow all the Palmera fruits to ripe and the seeds removal process and cleaning & drying it up making it fit for ait travel is all done in our first floor...God only know What my future wife has to say all about my work ?

here are the stills for you....enjoy !  ???

[Kris]

. .

[Kris]

After cutting the fleshy fruit part they are thoroughly washed and air dried using the celing fan and after a week or so its boxed !

[Kris]

Now the drying process...

[Kris]

Later when iam shure that the seeds are dried,the seeds are placed in the cardboard box and kept in a corner of the room..

[Gileno Machado]

Great pictures Kris...

You really have a nice green thumb. The Adenium looks neat...how often do you have it watered?

I love the marble floor too...looks like the Taj Mahal  

About the Borassus seeds:

I've placed mine semi-buried on top of loooong (1.2 m) PVC tubes filled with sand and placed in a warm garage, recommending waterings every other day. 4 of them had already sprouted their long and thick initial roots (+ - 25 cm) but they haven't shown their first leaves yet. I keep wondering if a diameter of mere 100 mm PVC tube is wide enough for the remote germinating seeds to return to the surface or if they may get entangled and not able to resprout...

Btw, How's your fiancee? I'm planning to attend your wedding too... ::  Where are those pictures you promised?

Kris,

  You poor guy! You are sick like the rest of us. And in your rooms, I see plenty of wall space where you can add shelves or a nice potting-up bench. No waits, lets get moving!

Jeff

aaaa haha, you too  :laugh:

[Kris]

Dear Gileano  

you said i have a green thumb but my garden friends...Squrieals don't seem to like my hobby that much...

And the adenium is watered every alternate days and no watering in rainy & winter season.because of our proximity to the sea shore/humidity.and i have told you my soil is sandy & very porous.nothing stays in it.so even i have to use fertz regularly too.

the marble floor is from Makrana(Rajasthan state in india)we get very cheap marble for flooring purpose but not to the quality that our italian friends have in their mansions..now in india only granite flooring is the fashion.

but i personally feel marble is much cooler than granite,since its hot here throught the year.

Never put or grow seeds in groups,they love to in indugual containers or pipes..And there is bit confusion over the method one could try here is a link sent to me my our friend Alicehunter2000(David)_

http://www.pacsoa.org.au/palms/Borassus/flabelliferB.html

And as for the updates & coverage of my engagement & wedding function,i thought i will do an exclusive in our palapa thread but now palapa is history ? so i will keep you all updated by mailing you stills to your E.Mail accounts !  

Thanks & lots of love,

Kris  

[Kris]

Dear Pivi  

first of all a warm & hearty welcome to our forum...

And thanks for visiting this thread !

And hope to see your garden stills & stills of gardens from your part of the city soon..

lots of love,

Kris  

[Pivi]

Thanks Kris.

I don't have much palms to show yet. Only a dozen washingtonias (one feet), two big chamaerops humilis, one archontophoenix alex. and one archonto. cunigham. In about a week i'll make my first seed order online. More palms after that

Nice work Kris,

Keep it up! I pot up all my germinated seeds in square pots so they don't use so much space. Maybe a suggestion for you, though you still have a lot of space left. Keep it going!
