San Antonio Tropicals

I’ve spent the last few days in San Antonio, Tx (zone 8b/9a from most sources I’ve seen), and I’ve found some pretty interesting and cool things. There’s some fruiting papayas around town, and huge bougainvilleas in full bloom. It’s really shown me how hardy some of these plants are. I’ve seen some mature rhapis palms around the river walk and zoo. The botanical gardens has a huge beaucarnea outdoors. ABA06452-79DB-44A0-A678-6C90DC6F6ECE.thumb.jpeg.16c00c47227c18bf13b0922011ec0b37.jpeg

Nice! What is the palm behind the sago in the 4th picture? 

That palm is the Jubaea chilensis at the riverwalk.  Some think it could be a hybrid but it hasn't flowered yet.

If you're still around town let me know - I know of some other great places to see palms in SA and you're welcome to see what I have growing.  @Dimovi could join us for a PRA at Oblate.

That would’ve been great, however I’ve already left; I’m on my way to Florida for a few days (decided to not go straight home and extend my vacation due to Hurricane Delta)
