But wait...there's more! Here is a leaf shot of the Ravenea krociana from a few posts back. This will be a huge palm in a few years.

Ratpacker Andy Green next to a Dypsis 'florencei'

The leaf of a mystery Dypsis that I gave Margaret a few years ago. The seed was labelled as D.tsaravoasira, and were only 5mm diameter. It has grown into something does looks totally different and has a twist to the leaves. Looks like it will be a large palm...

Nice clump of Foxtails...

Crown of the Syagrus x Wedding Palm hybrid

Forest of Chamaedorea metallica

Chamaedorea stlonifera

What our recent extended drought did to Euterpe edulis

ID time again, what have we here ?, a lovely fan palm and how about the grape like fruit ?

As Daryl pointed out earlier this is in fact Coccothrinax parviflora. I wonder if you can make wine from this fruit, sure look like grapes.

This stand of Caryota ochlandra is nearing the end of it's life...the ground under them was littered with thousands of seedlings.

Livistona fulva

Livistona nitida crown

Livistona nitida looking very natural

This Hyphaene was still in it's 10 inch pot, believe it or not !

The sky was going crazy

Wrong again Wal on the Hyphaene ID, you watched that sky too closely me thinks, that is a Nanny palm, "Nannorrhops ritchiana".

Great pic Daryl, well captured, nearly my fav photo from the thread, a little fulva to the right I see and decora to the left

Laura, the garden and nursury are on 4 acres

Wal loves his hairy trunks.

We can't leave on that note, here's 3 more from the Pallara vault.

That Ptychosperma sp.'Wotoboho' again with the glorious red new leaf.

And the looming palm jungle over their home took my eye.

Holy Moly, path and garden of palm lust is a great description. Wow, what a place.

Keep em comin if you got them guys.

Margaret explains a thing or two.

Was Andy Dick at the meeting?

I didn´t realize that leptocheilos could grow in a shady spot in the middle of the forest . Maybe i should move mine as it would have more protacting there. Any thoughts? Jason

P.S. Looks like a great group. Would love to have been there.

Will and Margaret's garden is a picturesque garden with amazing species, the pictures do not do it justice, great pictures guys, looks like you all had a good day out, A rat packer was missing, did he know it was on?

Nice work chaps. I'm starting to worry about Newcal's palm hugging addiction though .

Keep em comin if you got them guys.

Okay..

Red roots

Chamaedorea tepejelote I think this was.

Archontophoenix trunks are simply the best.

God, I wish I could have gotten some of those Syagrus x Lytocaryum seeds! Y'all were lucky!

-Krishna

thanks for the photos. I enjoyed it while I sipped coffee early this sunday morning. Now I feel the need to go out and plant more palms and bromeliads...with closer spacing!

That might be the gnarliest garden I've ever seen.. That guy's out of freakin' control, I love it! Awesome stills to go with!
