Jeff in St Pete 715 Report post Posted May 3, 2012 These caught my eye the other day while I was in the rain forest looking for seeds. The following three photos look like some kind of entire leaf Bactris. The leaves are long and narrow and the trunks have spines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, all I do is click on the name my computer automatically uses (or there is a rename button on my computer) and add the Latin name before the name the computer has used. My computer "objects" if I delete its chosen name, but is fine with adding additional words. PICASA3 (FREE) will alphabetize them if I put them in a folder and will resize the batch by doing an export (button at the bottom of their site)and make them about 800 pixels which seems pretty good for Palmtalk and emails. That way I don't have to resize each photo. The same export/resize button on PICASA can send the folder to my desktop so even easier to find. It does take a bit of time to label all those photos, but the "voice memo" option on my new camera lets me read the name off the label when I take the photo. Then I pick a time when the weather is cold and rainy and transfer the voice memo to the computer. My teenagers would be amused that I gave any computer advice, but I'm trying to learn.

doranakandawatta 2,817 Report post Posted May 25, 2013 Pete, Thanks for this wonderful thread , I enjoyed watching all these pics at the time it's snowing outside, this is May in Europe now! BTW: who are these palms from your post? Hyophorbe...? Here a photo from Doranakanda garden I miss too much: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NApalm 28 Report post Posted June 12, 2013 Got back from a few days away and happened to come across a new red frond! Dypsis sp. 'dark mealy bug' bustin out it's first frond in the ground. Picked this guy up from palms for brisbane and it hasn't skipped a beat. Enjoying our wet/warmish winter. Anyway, here's the pics... Looking up past a Laccospadix australasica who also had some red on show. I'm definetely thinking this guy is planted way to close to a Elaeocarpus reticulatus. That's for future NApalm to worry about..... Anyway that's it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennybenjamin 466 Report post Posted June 12, 2013 Nice NApalm, glad to see its goin well for you!! They are a pretty easy palm to grow. If its to close to that tree that's easily solved... remove the dicot. Wink wink Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
