Of spears and kings

[Kumar]

I'm visiting my garden after 20 days and in the meantime there has been a surge in growth. Some spears have become new leaves and others seem to be intent more on making a 'point' Here are some pictures taken today in late afternoon,

These are the new leaves

I. Cocos

II. Bismarckia the first

III. Oil Palm

IV. C. seifrizii

V. Thrinax morisii

[Kumar]

And these are the spears

I. Bentickia nicobarica - a real fast grower

II. King palm

III. A. merilli (golden)

IV. Carpentaria - (three months' growth) disappointing performance as I have read they are one of the fastest

V. C. Urens - Even more disappointing - this is what has come up after 8 months - a real scam

VI. D. leptocheilos - this very long spear has finally begun to open

VII. Red Latan, - very red indeed and a slow starter and seems to be preferring to build up some mass onto the spear first

I have other palms in the spear mode but i thought it would get too boring.

Very nice stills & you got there a beautiful collection of palms....And you also have there plently of free space in your garden to improvise on palm gardening.

Thanks for those nice visuals.

lots of love,
