Here are some pix of what I have growing around the yard. Early fall pix after a not so great growing season.

Caryota gigas

Lepidozamia peroffskyana This plant flushes two times a year. Once in April and once in late August early September (like clock work)

My garden is still young but I am excited about it. I am already waiting for next growing (buying) season.

Wow, it looks like you have a really nice framework there for your future jungle. Great choices & I liked the arrangements.

I especially liked the Cycad on the left in the fourth photo.

Nice work!

Nice Mike!

But I'm curious about the D. ambositrae with shadecloth. I know they like full sun, yours is the first I've seen with shadecloth, is that an experiment? I have seen a few put into full sun as seedlings with nary a problem and maybe even faster growth...

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.

"The great workman of nature is time."   ,  "Genius is nothing but a great aptitude for patience."

-George-Louis Leclerc de Buffon-

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!

BS man, the Ambositare came out of JD Anderson's greenhouse so I thought I should acclimate it. It was planted in May and has opened two fronds since. I will remove the shade cloth in March. I thought it may help this winter against frost, if I get any.

Patrick, it is E. whitelockii.

Thanks for the comments guy's.

Mike,

I like the mix of plants you have choosen! Your going to have a lush tropical, jurassic look!

Forget the lawn idea, cost too much money! Mounds where your lawn would be and a meandering pathway following your current curvy planter...

Nice job.

Great mix of plants Mike! I've been a largely a "non-cycad" guy: after seeing yours, I may have to give it another thought..

Nice job Mike. I love the cycads, I only have kings and queen and need to explore more. I agree with Randy, scratch the lawn and meander paths throughtout the garden. If I didn't have to think of guests and piñatas I would get rid of most of mine too!

Thanks MattB. I really haven't planned well during I just do it. I hope to plan better for the next phase.
