Cool photos Zeeth, thanks. Love the pictorial of you getting the coconuts.

A couple of I.D.'s that haven't been covered yet:

post 13, labled as Dypsis lanceolata, is actually D. sp 'fine leaf', is it called D. plumosa now?

post 20, labled as Syagrus pseudococos, is actually Beccariopheonex madagascarensis.

Thanks, I'll keep everyone updated if they germinate!

Thanks for the Id's, I thought that it looked very coconut like, so that explains it being a Beccariophoenix, the label looks messed with too... So that one is no windows form, the windows form is over on the other side, it's seeming more likely that the one is a Beccariophoenix alfredii.

The Beccariophoenix alfredii is really Beccariopheonex madagascarensis.

Zeeth,

Thanks for taking the time to share this garden with us. I take it, it's on the water/bay? And it appears to be an old garden. Also, there seems to be someone with some "pull" to be able to go out and spend money on some of the more rarer palm species.

Yes, the park is right on the edge of Tampa Bay, so it is a warm microclimate which I'd give as about 10b. I also wonder wonder how they have so many rare and expensive species while maintaing the fact that it's a free park. It's really a very nice park, and you can tell the people in charge of it love what they do and take pride in what they are doing!
