I was lucky enough to escape the unusually warm winter in NYC to an even warmer south Florida in January! Here are photos taken! I got to tour with the Palm Beach Palm and Cycad Society one day as well! My photos include some of the highlights with a link to the rest of the photos at the bottom. 

For starters, here is the largest Tahina spectabilis I have ever seen!

Probably the meanest palm out there: Astrocaryum murumuru

Wow! and thanks, Kyle. That Tahina is scary big - mine will look like that if I live long enough. Would love to have a bunch of Pelagodoxa seeds.

I love those Cyrtostachys hybrids! I hope we start seeing these become more common.

I have several of those Cyrtostachys hybrids if they are the ones Jeff Marcus was selling. Boy I hope they look like that someday.

Kyle,you knocked it out of the park! Sensational garden walk with expert identification of some very rare and unknown specimens.

I see you made it to the Four Arts as well as Ann Norton and some ancient specimens. The Ceiba pentandra next to Mr. Flagler is a sight to behold. You captured the Tabebuias as they are going off presently.

Your “remaining photos” in your presentation included the largest and most spectacular Cocothrinax borhidiana that I have ever seen in Florida. It was located in Loxahatchee! Amazing and thank you!

What you look for is what is looking

Very nice photos, Kyle.  In the link to your additional photos, I see a few cityscape pictures.  Are those all photos of West Palm Beach, FL? ... or Fort Lauderdale?  ...or somewhere else?

Thank you everyone! 

 

Bubba, I had very good tour guides familiar with the area, so they showed me all of the great places! I haven't spend much time up there, so I was shocked by how many amazing specimens of plants there were. I'm glad you appreciated the photos! 

 

SandyLoam, the skyline photo is actually Miami, FL. I didn't have enough photos to constitute another photo album, so I just lumped them into that album. Miami, FL has grown immensely in a short period of time! 

I'm always up for learning new things!

Excellent photos of excellent palms Kyle!

I think the palm you labelled a Cyphophoenix elegans may be C.nucele
