bgl 3,128 Report post Posted January 29 Kim and I were fortunate to visit Floribunda Palms Nursery this morning and walked around for a while, looking at unusual palms with Jeff and Sujin and taking photos, before getting down to our actual reason for the visit - buying palms! I'll be posting a number of photos but I may need to doublecheck the name for some of them so may not be able to post everything right now. I will only add a photo (or two) of a single species in each post. Here's Pelagodoxa henryana with impressive seeds, with Jeff of course. 16 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bgl 3,128 Report post Posted January 29 Dypsis bentjesii - somewhat uncertain about the spelling of the species name and have to correct it later. Can't find any reference to it, but I'm certain this is the name Jeff used. 8 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bgl 3,128 Report post Posted January 29 This is what Jeff calls the Blue Dypsis decipiens and he is convinced this should be described as a different species, considering the fact that the inflorescence is very different (and much larger) compared to the "regular" D. decipiens. 11 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

realarch 4,534 Report post Posted January 29 Well Bo, for not have posted anything in awhile you certainly made the wait worthwhile. So many striking specimens, but the Sommeria gave me an OMG moment. Oy vey! Look forward to seeing you and Kim again soon. Tim 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL Now tell us what you bought. Here you can see what we bought -- several large palms, the most obvious are Licuala peltata v. peltata -- and many small palms on the pallet on the skip loader. Bill Langer and John Hovancsek helping load, Jeff and Sujin supervising, as Bo prepares the truck bed. We left with the truck fully loaded, fronds tickling our ears on the ride home. I will add more photos later today. 10 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
