Wow, this is just fantastic!!!

Do I detect some colour on your Roystonea Regia, it seems to have a purple tinge to it?

Posted

:greenthumb::greenthumb::greenthumb:

I LOVE your garden and juvenile palm collection.

Thank you for showing us photos we can compare with the plants of the same species we too have in the garden.

As you can see, we too start with young palms or seedlings!

Looking forward to next pics!

Kindest regards,

Philippe

An amazing garden! You have collected some of the world's most beautiful palms. I hope you will post updates on a regular basis. I would like to know how large your garden is and how many palms you have planted in it. Secondly, where did you find the Calyptrocalyx benga dawn noda noda? I've wanted one for a long time.

HI lee our block size is 600 square meters, currently I have 109 palms planted and I won the Calyptrocalyx benga dawn noda noda on ebay, was extremely happy to win it, thanks for the kind words I will definitely be posting updates along the way

Thanks for the information - particularly about where you got the C. benga dawn noda noda. I'm going to have to get on eBay more! My husband flew the Hawaii hot air balloon at the Australian World's Fair in Brisbane a number of years ago and fell in love with your city.

If all those shots are recent your place is looking much greener than mine. Great job mate, thanks for showing it off to us!! We all know how much effort it takes to get your garden looking like that!!

Your garden should put on some good growth this summer...if it ever rains again!

That noda noda is a gem...they are not such a wussy Calyptrocalyx either.

You must be one of Greg's favourite customers judging by what you have there Paul! What do you reckon Ben?

You have a beautifully laid out garden. Great color and texture combinations. I see the eye of an artist at work in addition to a gardener.

Gotta admit I can't wait to see how it's all looking in a couple of years, especially if we ever get rain
