Backyard palms...Planted

Total as of 6-10-21 = 48 (7 more should be going in by end of summer).
 
Frontyard Palms......Planted

Total as of 6-20-21 = 19
 

Plus dozens of 5 gallon or larger palms all over the place.

.... but Greg, what about the side yards???  There always has to be a snarky one in the crowd somewhere :mrlooney: and I guess that's me today.

Thanks! The car is a 1973 Mercury Cougar. It’s color goes well with the landscape.

Yes, the colour is appropriate for your garden. I’m guessing a 429 or 460 under the hood. Back in the 70s Ford Australia made they’re own models but took the styling cues and some parts from the US models. My first car was a 1975 Ford Fairmont wagon with a Cleveland V8. It looks like it had the same door handles and side mirrors as your car. I wish I still had it. However nowadays I’ve got no time for cars and palms have taken their place.

Gotta say, a lot of you simultaneously make me feel MORE sane (I’m used to being “the plant guy” in my circle of friends.) and LESS sane. (I know given more time, I’ll be right there up there among the longest of lists in this thread!) 

Since August of last year, my humble little container garden has grown to include the following species: 

  • Kentiopsis oliviformis
  • Licuala peltata var. sumawongii
  • Licuala grandis 
  • Licuala peltata 
  • Licuala yal braal
  • Cocos Nucifera (x2) 
  • Crytostachys renda
  • Areca vestiaria (x4) 
  • Rhapsis excelsa
  • Chamaedorea cataractarum
  • Chamaedorea elegans (x5)
  • Chamaedorea radicalis (x5)
  • Kerriodoxa elegans 
  • Polyandrococos / allagoptera caudescens
  • Washingtonia robusta
  • Ravenea rivularis (x2)
  • Bismarckia nobilis (x2)
  • Mule palm

  • Coccothrinax crinita
  • Chambreyonia macrocarpa 
  • Archontophoenix alexandrae (x6)
  • Archontophoenix cunninghamiana (x3)

Wise guy. :lol: Anything on my side yard on the front side of fence is front yard. Backside of fence backyard. :P

I actually just copied and pasted that from a list I keep or else I likely would not have separated it.

351 Cleveland V8 was the only engine choice in these in 1973. You could get either a 2 bbl with single exhaust or a 4 bbl with dual exhaust. Her original interior is rather green as well.

Cool. I had the Cleveland 351 as well. I know that engine very well. I eventually hotted mine right up. I rebuilt it myself and spent a ton of money on it. It was my “aim and fire” car. Those 351 Cleveland’s have legendary status in Australia. Very fast engine when built right. I never found out how fast it really would go but it was quick. They were made here until 1982. I wish I still had mine. Palms have replaced that passion though.

I’m happy to report that I have time to enjoy my cars and my palms! But just barely enough time.

I dunno if I should be proud of myself or ashamed here. I got my Venza back out of the body shop and decided after work I wanted to drive to Houston Garden Center in Conroe to see if they had anything cool. I got halfway there, and the voice in my head says, "If you do buy something, where are you gonna put it?" 

 

I still need to buy a few pots to replace nursery pots, and I have no room for anything but seedlings..... And I'm kinda too impatient for seedlings. :unsure:

Ah shit I just remembered I have a Rhapis excelsa in the front yard. I guess I kinda think of them like a bamboo. They’re all over the place in Japan and with age get more and more bambooey.

I need to start paying more attention to such meetings! MB palms is great. I really appreciate his contributions to palm diversity here in CFL.

You're welcome to come to them - and anyone else :) .  I post the dates/times for all of our meetings in the Affiliate News and Meeting Dates section.

The next one should be in October somewhere on the west coast of Florida (Sarasota/Bradenton?, St. Pete?).  There are other factors at play for that meeting, so we don't have the exact details hammered out just yet.   

The holiday meeting will be in December up in Hastings, FL.  One of our members is starting a botanical garden.  They've done a lot of work to the property as far as adding tons of new species and altering the landscape, but here is what it looked like during our last visit: https://www.palmtalk.org/forum/index.php?/topic/58209-the-garden-of-dr-john-rossi-hastings-fl/

If you're looking to increase the total palm inventory, these are good places to do it.  At the meeting yesterday, we had folks from Jax to Cape Coral and all areas in between - so our auctions and vendor sales tend to span all zones in the state as far as what is for sale.  We had everything from Sabal minor and Trachycarpus fortunei to Attalea sp. and Cyrtostachys renda as far as hardiness is concerned.

Yeah, MB Palms was an excellent visit!  Wanted to get more from them but the weather was moving in and they were needing to get to another engagement, so maybe down the road I'll get more from them.

It was great meeting many and putting faces with the names!

I did add Lytocaryum weddellianum and hoehnei along with Satakentia liukiuensis and Copernicia Alba

Holy Mackerel, really getting into this. Impressive record keeping. I’ve not the energy to list my inventory, so I’ll just use Kim’s. 

:D.

Pretty standard 1/4 acre. Lots of palm density. I left a few genus out of my list like Jubaeopsis and Polyandrococcos. Here are a few garden shots...

Always loved seeing pics of your yard Jim.  Very tastefully done.  I was just wondering .. what is your water bill like?  I know we are both in California but I am lucky to be on a Water Division outside of LADWP.

This topic made me wonder what I've been accomplishing quantity/species wise. I moved into this place in August, was stranded in quarantine and carless until mid-Sept and essentially I had no clear space to plant anything so I began to hand clear 2/3 acre of solid fern and glory bush, have been planting as I clear areas primarily with hedge trimmers and loppers.  It has been a slow tedious process but I'm nearly done clearing.

Upon referencing my incomplete spreadsheet I find that I've planted 40 bamboo, 45 species of palm, 65 fruit trees and around 130 other notable ornamentals - all on essentially solid lava so all in mounds.  Still, looking around it is mainly brown where all the fern was culled but with overstory starting to get larger (nice that some bamboo are already > 15') and I look forward to having understory one day.  Kinda stinks to see dead all over but this is East Hawai'i so the greening will come quick I know.

Wintertime waterbill runs about $100 per month  rainy season and summertime averages $220.00. So about $120.00 for outside irrigation during the dry season.

My bills seem to be going down.  LOL  Range anywhere from $50 to $100 a month.  Not sure why usage is going down as I have more in the ground this year than last.  I will admit while replacing some of the 1/2" poly pipe I found places were rats or mice at holes in the tubing.  Yea that would result in a lot more water thru the meter.  LOL

I live about two miles from Floribunda. It is like a junkie living next door to a crack house. I stopped by again just this morning to get another fix. The new babies will not go into the ground for a while, but here is a list of what has been planted so far. My count is about 90 genera and maybe 165 species, plus the mystery palms without name tags. Many have multiple individuals, so the total census might be a bit over 200. Please forgive the approximate spelling of some of them.

Ah shit I just remembered I have a Rhapis excelsa in the front yard. I guess I kinda think of them like a bamboo. They’re all over the place in Japan and with age get more and more bambooey.

Bad part is I can’t miss any I have, if I’m not messing with the bed they’re in I at least walk past and look at all of them everyday…

At the last check I've got about 87 palms covering 54 different species most of them in the ground maybe only a half a dozen of those in decorative pots.
