Fruhlch Gerburtstag, mein Freund! Und many many more . . . .

Standard English "Happy Birthday!" here. Sorry.

Enjoying the blue theme from here in the middle of the UK. Here is my Brahea armata, picture from today, in the coldest month of the year for us Februrary -5 C/ 23 F it has seen just lately and I thought it would look a little washed out with all the snow we have had of late but not so. Butia capitata is quite blue literally with cold.

Since I have never contributed to this long running thread.....here is a few from our vacation/convention......Ritz Carlton, Orlando, Florida.

Here's a CIDP from Sweden. This one is about 140 years old and before it moved to Trelleborg it had a home in the botanical garden of Uppsala (Linné). Every year it's placed in a roundabout and varying annuals is placed next to it. //Ciczi

Here is a picture of the Capetown city hall taken 20 years ago. It is a pic of my screen, as I took dias, so it explains the quality. Same in Pretoria.

Kris here are two of my neighbors viewed from my yard, Enjoy!

Here´s photo of a lovely small CIDP with a person who doesn´t show any respect against palms Too bad that the dogs who were guarding there didn´t bite him for that The picture was taken in Costa Blanca Espana. By for now I have seen most of the places up from Barcelona down to Tarifa and CIDP tends to be most popular palm there besides other phoenixes and washies ofcourse.

From Cape Town, South Africa:

gotta add my own 2 cents worth of photos: btw... some of the palms in photos 4,5 and 7 are over 100' tall

A picture of the CIDPs at my daughter's apartment complex in Houston.... Jv

Kris Anyone send you a CIDP by movie.. Do you like Phoenix dactylifera as well as I have a link on our GOTE forum here in the UK of a quite unusual one.

Las Cruces, New Mexico, USDA zone 8a... about the coldest place they can grow and get enough heat to recover from partial damage most years. It's also very dry and sunny here in winter, which helps. Huaraz, Peru at 10,000' altitude Cusco, Peru at 10,600' (and apparently there's one above 11,000' outside the city, but I didn't have time to track it down). Any examples from a higher altitude than this? Brookings, Oregon. A monster

Korcula, Croatia Split Boulevard, Croatia Again Split Boulevard, Croatia These stills were made in 2007 when i visited my fatherland for the last time. One year ago i became father (the only year i didnt visit croatia in my life) and this year i will bring my sun with me to enjoy this great country. Cheers!

A nice one from California And a few more

Near kingston Beach Tas

I saw my pictures aren't there anymore, so here they are again Robbin

Linda, I think this is the CIDP you're talking about... this was shot back a couple of years ago and at a bit of a distance, so you can't see the lower region of the palm... Jv

A couple more pics for Kris.... these are from Los Angeles. Jv

A classic photo, thanks for the re run Dennis.

Hi guys Below a pic on a cold winters day in Queenstown, South Africa. I posted this pic in 2005 on the old old board. In the middle is a Jub and CIDP all around! Cheers Dennis

Bill, thanks for the location ID. I feel sorry I didn't see your 3 garden helpers around the block... Here's the famous Phoenix elHoagiensis var. altadenum

and Kris.... Heres what I have fora screen saver, its from the Old archives, its somewhat famous and I thought Gileno originally posted it?? One of my Favorites... a Variegated CIDP

Here Kris, This is a pic of my CIDP the morning it was about to be dug up and go away... But it now resides happily in the middle of a horse training track near Rancho Santa Fe.... I am now embarrassed to say that I lived here for about 6 years before I sold the tree and I watered it......twice! (yes in 6 years) DeezPalms - since you've been here, hard to recognise that used to be my back yard !! Bill

San Francisco (with Gileno Jr.)

Phoenix canariensis, Washingtonias filiferas and W. robustas I think it's in Del Mar...help me Califans...

La Jolla

Hi Kris: A few more from California's trip 6 months ago: San Diego

You have probably seen both of these, but here they are again: I am pretty sure this one is less than 100 years old. It is only about 60 feet tall, but it is the oldest I know of. The house was built in 1887. This is where the name "pineapple palm" comes from. Sorry for the dreary backdrop; picture was taken in January.

And more

More ...
