the roots on that C. prunifera are crazy! Any chance of getting an overall shot of that B. decumbens? It looks huge!

[virtualpalm]

Hey, Matt. I posted some photos of my B. decumbens a few weeks ago here:

http://www.palmtalk.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=29802

It is the largest specimen that I know of in Florida.

Here is one more that I found on my computer. It was taken about a month ago.

This is the third year in a row that my Attalea cohune has flowered, and it still has no trunk.

That is truly one of the iconic palms in CA for sure. I think of Pauline's Dypsis decipiens, Mardy's Dypsis mananjarensis and your Geonoma undata as few of my top Cali palms.

[realarch]

That G. undata is one killer palm, and so robust.

Jody, the pic of the Carpoxylon is really nice.

[Daryl]

Darold, that Geonoma is a ripsnorter!

Great thread! These are my favorite kinds of pics to take in the garden. This perspective is most of why I find palms so beautiful, the colors and structures you see on a closer look or extreme angle. I'm really enjoying the photos you all have posted.

Ever tried taking a soft scrubbing brush and water to the brown scurf? Not that I go in for that sort of grooming but I know some do this to Basselinias with dramatic effect.

Thanks to all for the kind remarks. I don't groom any aspect of the palms other than to cut off all the newly exposed spadices on my nikau palms. Perhaps I Should try cleaning the Geonoma leafbases!

Also, the reddish coloration changes dramatically through the lifespan of each leafbase, starting with a light pinkish tone when first exposed, then maturing to dark reddish, then to brown as the leafbase begins to absciss.
