During our last trip to SP we decided to visit a nice local Museum we haven't been to in decades. It's located right downtown and we walked through the small park in the outside and found lots of palms, to my surprise...

Hi Barbara & cousin! That's a very nice hybrid Phoenix palm there. Sure appears to be a P. roebellini cross but with what exactly I'm not going to guess.

Did you grab a few seeds Gileno?

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.

Nice sunsets!

Thanks everyone. It looks like a hybrid with roebelenii doesn`t it?

Don, the other Museum next door (Museu da Língua Portuguesa) is also fantastic, a very modern one, located at the old rail station Luz.

Beautiful palms, fabulous city and glorious art work as well. I wish Brisbane would lift its game to even 50% of those standards.

Thx Girls and Boyz.

In spite of being a terribly crowded metropolis with 19 million people jammed inside its borders, SP still has some nice nature refuges. I wish I had taken picures of the big Ibirapuera Park too, with the early landscape design by Burle Marx and now the green heart of the city.

Looking for another matter I met this site (a little bit too late) and enjoyed your beautiful photos. The unknown Phoenix you mentioned above looks for me rather like Phoenix rupicola. What do you think?
