My tropical garden in Brisbane Queensland Australia. Taken August 2013.

One afternoon we took the bus into La Fortuna for some shopping and dinner. Arenal Volcano in front of La Fortuna Cyrtostachys renda are planted all around the church in La Fortuna I think these are Areca triandra on either side of the Central Park entrance As we were waiting for the bus back to the treehouse I noticed these Iriartea deltoidea planted at the bus station

avanza, this is one of my favorite palms and is a permanent feature on my wish list. The hardest part is over...just getting it in the ground! It will take some time but you will have a great palm in your garden. Good Luck. Peter

I am boycotting the closing of this thread.

Okay. I've learned my lesson. I shall not judge a topic by its title on Palmtalk ever again! I guessed this was a topic asking if we were ready for Fall/winter/cold. Since I'm not and didn't want to feel guilty reading about what everyone else was doing to protect their plants, I put off opening this one. Then I noticed how many responses and thought MAYBE, just maybe, I was wrong this once. Also, one of my cats is now sleeping on my lap and I didn't want to disturb him (meaning good excuse to stay on the computer instead of doing chores). Dang it! The cat just jumped off while I was writing that sentence. The cat must be psychic. Now I'll have to come up with some other lame excuse to avoid working.

- The Croton section in all its glory, filled to the max with currently 216 different cultivars. - Chamaedorea elegans var. 'Negrita', Black Dwarf Parlor Palm - 3 gal. $35.00 - The photo doesn't do the color justice, it really is dark, almost black-green. Ryan

Albeit among much silliness, there is also a lot of palmliness in this thread. Now, if the mod moved it Ohana Nui that would be his judgement, but why would the thread be closed? Did I miss something?

Beautiful garden..Interesting varieties of palm trees.

Yes, I vote we close it with some pictures of my garden: The most striking feature of the warbonnet fern is the iridescent blue of the leaves, which contain abundant anthocyanin pigments. These pigments are light-reactive chemicals that reflect blue light and give color to the blue and purple flowers and fruit. The warbonnet fern is among the many bioluminescent flora of Pandora. Dicsonia avataranum Helicoradian (also known as Loreyu, meaning "beautiful spiral") is a zooplantae (part animal, part plant) possessing a single leaf that responds to touch by coiling up and retracting to the ground. Its neuromuscular system makes it difficult for xenobiologists to classify. Helicoradia can grow to 6-8 meters (20-26 feet) in height and 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) across.
