Great photos Kim, and like Matty said even gooder commentary. So, what does one have to do to get an, 'Aussie Rat Pack', t-shirt? There is probably some sort of hazing involved.

Rumor has it you're coming to the Big Island.

Kim, Thanks for the killer shots as always..., but what is "Polyandrococos cocoides"? It seems like a mixing of two genus and for that matter, both would be pinnate type palms. (post 24) :blink: (teeny tiny snarkism involved, please smile)

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Kim, your coverage and pics are always stellar. Thank you.

The party grotto rocks, literally, I want one.

:rolleyes: This was the label... evidently for another palm nearby, not the big one I photographed. :mrlooney: My excuse -- I was in a hurry to get the photos posted. Fact checking is extra!

Bo, Dave, Tim, and Matt, thanks for the positive comments. :)

So Tim, I'll have to PM you for the source of that rumor!

Great reporting, I love the way you have meetings in garden settings.

Someone asked how you can acquire an Aussie ratpack shirt, the answer is simple, you have to either earn it or bribe Colin Wilson, whichever is the greater.

Happy Gardening

Cheers,

Kim,

Thanks for the great pictures, and I think your unidentified rosy pink flowering tree is Delostoma roseum, although I have never seen my own tree of this species with so many flowers at one time! If the foliage on the tree looked vaguely like an Avocado tree's foliage, I think this is definitely a Delostoma. It does look like it was a beautiful day in a wonderful garden, and so very southern Californian...

The palms went to the swift and sure. My patience bought me a beautiful weeping Dypsis onilahensis, offspring from Louis Hooper's fabulous garden.

Hi Kim,

From my visit to Louis Hooper's, I thought he only had the upright variety of D. onilahensis?

Hi Kim,

All I can tell you is it's definitely weeping and he germinated the seed himself. I assumed the seed was from his plant, but I could be wrong.

Hi Kim,

Just want to make sure you get the palm you wanted... :)
