Taking a rare break from digging, trimming and weeding I snapped some photos. Licuala mattanensis "mapu" has an easy time growing here so I have several. One is seeding and and I have some seedlings sprouted from the first batch. These strangely shaped seeds are bright orange when ripe.

Nothing but nature growing these meaning no supplemental water or fertilizer.

I am sneaking in a tree fern photo. They are a big part of my canopy in this part of the farm.

Closing for today's brief stroll with two more views of my Caryota mitis variegated. This one is a challenge to photograph.

My views have finally recovered from the devastation of Hurricane Maria 2017.

Looking great Cindy, lush, healthy, and happy. You’ve overcome challenges most of us hope to never endure and the results show chutzpah and tenacity. Kanpai!

All the hard work is paying off and rewarding you with perfect palms. And things will only speed up from here. Thanks for the pics.

Dypsis madagascarensis?  looks like mine so yes.

Thanks and thanks for the help on identifying this palm. This one is from Palmatier Meg labeled Dypsis Malagasy. Thanks Meg as this palm is lovely whatever the name.

Thanks quaman58. However I doubt that I could grow the lovely Braheas and Jubeas that I saw with the IPS a couple of years ago in CA.

Thanks Tim. Chutzpah, tenacity and craziness are a plus to living in the tropics as you well know! Your posts always make me dream of the possibilities....

Hi Dean! Thanks! I look forward to actually meeting you in person and seeing your garden (and your tractor?) next Fall. Your plants are inspirational too.

 

You won’t find me on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram but I enjoy time with friendly palm aficionados around the world on PT.

Keep those great topics coming!

Cindy,

so beautiful and healthy looking palms!! I love the strong green of their leaves!

Despite your regular hurricanes, the Johannesteijsmannia altifrons looks awesome! 

Maybe I should give it a try in our typhoony area, too...

 

best regards from Okinawa -

Hi Lars!

Thanks!
As to the effect of hurricanes on Joey palms, mine were planted after the last one in PR of any significance in 2017.
 

I did put them in more protected locations so the normal tropical winds have not torn their leaves, but time will tell how they do long term. 
 

Good luck!

Awesome garden Cindy! Look's like your growth rate is similar to the Hawaiian gardens. About half of my garden also uses tree ferns for canopy. Do you know the name of tree ferns you are growing? The one next to the Kerriodoxa looks a lot like Cyathea Horrida? Adrian Tejedor has a great guide to the tree ferns of Puerto Rico.

Thanks John! It is truly just a sampling of what I am trying to grow. Planting lots this week before it gets less wet probably next month. Never really dry but less wet...

Thanks! I am guessing you are right about growth rates in the higher rain areas of PR and HI.
I had not seen Adrian’s guide but it does look great!

Thanks so much! I know I have a short one with small teeth on the petioles but by far the most common one has smooth petioles and gets much taller. With this guide perhaps I can name them.

Thank you Gerg, Kim, amh and Hilo Jason! I appreciate your comments. No palm clubs here (yet) so my garden tours are nearly all virtual.
