There are so many Dypsis collectors that were not even named in this poll. From my travels I would separate the collectors in four distinct locations as follows: 1. Queensland-Australia where you have Arden Dearden, Clayton York ,Bill Beatie and others. 2. Hawaii-USA where you have Jeff Marcus, Bo Lundquist, Jerry Andersen, Dean Ouer and others 3. California-USA where you have Marty Darian, Ron Lawyer, Len Geiger, Gary Levine, Greg Hamman, Bob Deyoung, Rick Cerino,Bill Sanford, myself and countless others 4. Florida-USA where you have Jeff Searle, Peter Balasky and several others All that said I would say Jeff Marcus is the man and he continues to constantly add to his collection through collecting in habitat as well as describing new cultivated species. The best part is this fraternity of collectors largely shares information and seeds and all of us will see our collections continue to expand.

I'm sorry to hear about this. Hope you have a full and speedy recovery Pete. My prayers are with you and your family. Jason

Thanks guys! I like this yellow flowering shrub, it blooms basically all year round. Can someone help with a name? Neoveitchia storckii up near the front door with orchids growing on it.

One of my absolute favorite cycads in the garden is Lepidozamia hopei, of which there are three this size planted in the area under the oaks for shade. Calyptrocalyx sp. Yamune-tumune, a species that has proven to be very cold hardy, it's about 7-8' now. Croton, Tiger Eye.

Looking up into the crown of, Satakentia liukiuensis. Different path through the garden. Dypsis lutescens "Dwarf".

I'm not real big on alot of green and yellow crotons, but this one DOES float my boat. Variegated Monstera del. This croton, "Catch of the Day", is probably my favorite of all the crotons I grow.

A large double Arenga westerhoutii(don't ask me why I planted two). A sitting area and the use of a fire pit if needed and some casual drinking. That's a Licuala ramsayi in the rear. A grouping of Licuala longipes.
