It has to be among the nicest botanical gardens out there. I have a large number of photos to share, but I will leave you this one photo, taken in the conservatory for now. I grew up near Longwood. What a cool botanical garden. Spent hours in the Palm House. Can't wait to see your photos. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll start with some Calyptrocalyx in the garden, all going off at the same time. Understory gems for any garden if they will grow for you. C. leptostacyhs, C. pachystachys, and C. pachystachys 'mottled.' Tim how old are these leptosacyhs tim 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
realarch 4,093 Report post Posted July 25, 2016 Hi Jon, they are about 3 1/2 years old from 1 gal. pots. They seed like crazy and I've got five more planted in this group. Takes a few years to get going, but once past that stage they are steady growers. Great little palms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
