Thanks Mat for the information! What do you suppose the Burretiokentia could be then?

I'm always up for learning new things!

Great pix Kyle,

So nice to have a name to attach to all these (to me) rare palms.

Thanks a lot!

Great photos. What camera are you using. The quality is outstanding.

Super pictures of extraordinary palms. It's amazing how similar Borassus flabelifer and Washingtonia hybrids look.

Kyle, I recognize most of these palms to be at Fairchild, but where are the other palms from? The Burretiokentia flowering, odd Heterospathe and the Copernicia gigas are palms I have never seen, down here(in person)...

Thank you so much for those amazing palm photos ! I need to move in there , i am gonna start packing !

If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right, you'll probably never do much of anything.

Post #2...based on the color of the inflorence, the height of the palm and it leaning, I would say it's Heterospathe cagayensis, a dwarf species from the Philippines. The stems show a dark, burgundy coloring. I have an identical size specimen growing in my yard. Even with the lean!

I saw Kyle yesterday at Rick's (TikiRick) garden tour. We had fun wandering through Rick's immacluate garden viewing the many specimen palms. Sensing from Kyle's wide eyed expression, he was truly impressed. Kyle started on Palm Talk when he was 13. Now as a College graduate, I feel that Palm Talk has had a nuturing effect on his continued love of palms. :)

Hello Ronald! It was good seeing you on Saturday as well! Palmtalk definitely helps satisfy my interest for palms.

Thank you Jeff for the ID! I have been wondering about this palm for a while now.

Hello Andrew! All of the pictures were taken in Southeastern Florida. Many were at Fairchild and others were in private gardens or other gardens around the region. Definitely much more variety here than in Gainesville, FL where I lived until August 2011!

BIG BUMP - if you are on the fence about attending the Miami Biennel, this thread has just a fraction of palms you will see at just one of the stops.

Start saving your $$, this will be a can't miss Biennel! :winkie:

They are in private gardens to which you have never been.

Well semi-private when you consider they're part of an operating nursery that anyone is welcome to walk through. My guess is Andrew's been to Jesse Durko's by now anyway though. The C. gigas is looking even more impressive after two years, when I was there a few weeks ago it appeared to be right on the verge of finally showing some clear trunk.
