This one is some kind of Dypsis... I know not which...

We should make a coffee table book about ourselves and some of our best photos from the garden... Maybe somebody would even buy it...!

Thank you Jonas for your comments and your pictures,

Especially you have a good Idea with Palmtalk coffee table book!

I wish a Palmtalk committee can be created for this project, with IPS BOD benediction.

I am sure many will buy it.

Warm regards

    Undoubtedly, the finest deep green palm I have at present is this Cyphophenix nucele.

    I like the green mesh of Livistona decora overlapping a juvenile Cocos nucifera.

    post-51-0-81907800-1385330749_thumb.jpg

    Dypsis pembana leaf also looking worthy of "Green Shade" capture.

    Gorgeous shot, Kim.

    A favorite shade is all relative, depending on lighting and the surrounding colors. I'd say my favorite is a deep green produced by backlit translucent leaves when contrasted by even darker foliage.
