  1. any ideas for plants which are highly comlimentary with palms in a garden setting ? (in my case for a Mediterranean climate, but the topic is, of course, open to anyone)

  2. On a more serious note, get out your best plaid shirt, with non-matching sweats, lace up your red sneaks and go feast like a KING! Dinner's on me tonight! Happy Birthday!

  3. My two dogs are very palm friendly now that they are older dogs (8 and 10). When the brown one was a puppy we lived in a house that had a row of Phoenix Roebellini palms and she loved tearing those things out of the ground and leaving them on the back lawn. Our neighbors just recently got a Pit Bull puppy that we've befriended. So we bring him over to our house every day and take him on walks since his owners don't really have the time. He worries me around the palms since he's pretty big. He's a year old and is probably about 70 pounds. Here's a picture of him getting a little too close to a small Dypsis (labeled as "SP. Rare Unknown" when I bought it) And that's an Archontophoenix Tuckeri to the right of him. He's a great dog though, so it's worth the risk of having him over.

  5. Thanks Mark. The brown dog is a boxer / pitbull mix. The Black dog is an ultra mutt. Not sure really what he is. Both were rescues and are great dogs.

  6. Catwalks? Dude, you are out of control! In a good way! I hope you're able to pull it off, that would be awesome! As for the Sabal ? Without a real close up, it sure looks like blackburiana to me. But I'm no expert. Half a dozen "vets" will probably chime in with Uresana or Doming. or something....I know this much, she's a beauty, whatever that is! -eric

  10. Doesn't matter really as long as the textures, sizes, and color shades are variable. Don't forget cool hardscape like skulls, wood, rocks, and telephone booths.

  11. peachy- I was thinking about tree ferns. I really like how they look. the only thing holding me back is that I heard that the "hair/fuzz" on the trunk is an Irritant and is pretty nasty to deal with. maybe someone has feedback on this ? I would love to go to tasmania to see the fern forest ! have you been there ? nice looking place- no ?

  12. I went over this great adventure we all had together and was thinking "there aren't that many pics of the palm"! There are some more on other topics I think, like the helicoper ones. this time i've asked xavier to send me some pics giving the scale of the palm. So here are two of them: one with bruno the sailor! (not me, obviously) at the foot of the inflorescence which is something like 8 or 9 meters high! A building with three floors. By the way, a third palm id flowering! ready in february. And another one with Xavier's motorbike. Xavier might go on site next week and take some of the photos I want to have giving scale. bruno
