Hi Kim, what a wonderful thread you've started here and one that'll go down in Palmtalk archives. Who doesn't like all shades of green around here? These are a few of my recent favorites. Peter

Jonathan, post 50 centre palm is a Norfolk Island Palm ( Rhopalostylis baueri), it gets a few hours in the morning then in filtered light all day , because of that its leaves are twice the length of our full sun Rhopie baueri. Heres another shot of it and I also added a pic taken this morning at same time of a Ravenea robustior in full sun. Pete :)

Excellent initiative Kim!

Wow, I loved all the photos, thanks everybody. PalmCrazy, that garden is just a piece of heaven! :greenthumb: :greenthumb: :greenthumb:

Here's some more GREEN.

First: I love the contrast between the bright green of the Chamædorea and the dull green of the archonto.

Second: That one is for you, Kim, when you said "Palms have that satisfying green". While I uploaded this pic, my wife just told me that if she leaved me one day, it would be for this guy! I don't care, I confessed about my love affair with a bunch of curvy Hyophorbe, Carpoxylon, Pseudophoenix, etc. :mrlooney:

Third: Kentias, your dark green is just unbeatable. And when it comes along with curves...

Fourth: My favourite Roysto: Roystonea oleracea. Perfect green crownshaft and awesome leaflets.

Last but not palm: Soursop, so good served chilled when days are hot :drool: .

Oh, lots of beautiful greens here! Bo, love the D. prestoniana after the rain, excellent! Peter, you need some zeros after the '1' in your green shot. Beautiful canopy, Daryl, and what an amazing sky. Beautiful variegation, Pete, love it! Sebastian, I'm in love with your Pelagadoxa, too! Who wouldn't be? :rolleyes:

Thought I'd add some common Archontophoenix greens seen by the side of the road recently...
