I felt the need to photo capture some palms this morning, and have me in some of the pics to give you an idea on the sizes, and for me to refer back.

Dypsis sambiranensis aka Dypsis pinnatifrons sp.pink crownshaft etc. recent new red/maroon leaf, note that the rachis also is red unlike some other Dypsis with new red leaves that have green rachis.

Western garden areas:

L.decora, B.nobilis green, red banana etc.

The A.maxima has outgrown everything by miles, the red banana has also been very very quick to grow.

Lots in shot with these, Kentiopsis , Cyphophoenix, Areca, Dypsis, Licuala etc etc

Decided to group the broms in/on rocks instead of having them spread around, makes it easier to walk through.

Some on the eastern side. This is the side where most of the sunbake damage took place, especially to the Chambeyronias and Carpoxylons.

Here one of the Chambeys opened up a new maroon leaf, they'll all return.

The bigger palms in shot here include Satakentia, Dypsis hybrid (red triangle) and Beccariophoenix.

Standing next to a Bentinckia on my left

Here's my champion Livistona decora

Dypsis lanceolata living with Caryota and bamboos

Looking good Wal.

Down the back forest jungle area.

My timor black has taken off

And finally a couple from the front side showing Arenga pinnata, Pritchardia, Livistona, Licuala etc.

There's nothing more golden than a golden cane palm

Wal your garden is coming along very nice that black bamboo is looking great.

Getting some great growth up there Wal ! I am sure i will be amazed when i get up your way again ( March 2014 ish )

Just took a night pic of my Livistona fulva, see how well the brown leaf undersides show up, not too bad.

Coming along nicely there wal. I dont see too much damage there from the pics. Looks like they're recovering well.

Just cleverly left out of shot...

There are some that have produced new leaves in the last 2 months though.

Looking good Wal...everything is nice and green up there...did you get some showers recently? Crunchy down here.

Yes Daryl, some showers over the weekend and rain late last week, it's at the near perfect time, just the right temps with the odd shower. Lovely to walk around and appreciate stuff, I've a lot more work to do, weeding, more brom rearranging etc. I should be laying out mulch too.

As you say Wal, not too bad!

Thank you for sharing your pics. I am impressed by your palms!

Kindest regards
