What's this @Miccles @comic097

Shane that's a lemurophoenix halleuxii mate 

[gob1]

Paul, a great effort posting this thread. Plenty of fabulous pics, and a lot of time invested to share them with P Talkers.

And many thanks to Ben for organising the trip, and Michael, Bencassa, Harry and the nurseries for welcoming the visitors.

Just a few too many shots of that moron in the blue turban thing.

I've got the airline miles, and have been a bit uncertain of where to make a first visit (of what I hope will be several) to Australia.  Notwithstanding that I have excuses to visit Costa Rica (the revived Wilson Botanical Garden), Miami (overdue for Fairchild and Montgomery), San Diego (the Center for Plant Conservation moved to the Zoo), Cairns looks even better than I'd supposed.  

I'm envious of a huge Dypsis carlsmithii in the photo collection.  Mine's been in the ground for a decade, and has yet to develop a trunk.  On the other hand, it has that tidy habit of carrying its leaves fairly upright, and they're long, so it makes an impressive specimen even without the trunk.

Nowhere in Florida could a lipstick palm be outdoors at the airport.  Even in Miami, there's a need for quick protection on rare, bad nights.

3hrs later and were coming into Airlie beach

 

Right onto Richies

So Richies place was a treat, we had met Richie last year up in Townsville for the Aussie palmtalkers day out, so it made sense to see his garden this year. Richies mum is a very keen palm grower and has done a magnificent job with how the garden has evolved into today, Richie certainly has the bug and is following in the steps of his mum. So here we go ...

Front entrance 

Richie's mum got the seed of this baileyana and planted it 35 years ago, tough grower, it got run over by a lawn mower and has grown to perfection 

Im a sucker for colour

Rogers neck has a massive kink forming due to this trip 

Well there you have it, very very impressive, Richie thanks for having us around mate, if your ever down in our part of the world mate, look us up, they ll be a beer waiting

Holy crap Aussies!!! 

You boys know how to PRA for sure! I've visited Cairns and I'd move there in a second, for obvious reasons. I saw the lipstick palm used as a hedge, and I was sold.

Tropical, diving, and palm kingdom! Thank you for all your time to post. Every garden, private and public, are amazing! Things we could never grow, even here in Florida. 

Cheers mates!

Well that was a very big day, gardens in Townsville then the drive down to Airlie Beach and finishing up at Richie's, it was time for a beer and a feed at the local pub, tomorrow was gonna be a huge day.

A new town a new caravan park

My pinangas go every where I go 

The next morning I thought the world was ending, we were being invaded

Right next stop George and Janes place, for those who remember Wal did a thread a while back of Georges place

http://www.palmtalk.org/forum/index.php?/topic/42796-jungle-garden-visit-airlie-beach-area/  

Ok so we ended up leaving the caravan park and heading round to Richie's place to pick him up and head on over to Georges where we would also meet up with Andrew ( tropicgardener ) again apologies in advance for no IDs on the palms, so many pics to post

Paul, a great effort posting this thread. Plenty of fabulous pics, and a lot of time invested to share them with P Talkers.

And many thanks to Ben for organising the trip, and Michael, Bencassa, Harry and the nurseries for welcoming the visitors.

Just a few too many shots of that moron in the blue turban thing.

Enjoyed the pix  Some great palms.  The Flecker is fabulous,  and not just for palms,  but the whole gamut of tropical plants.  Thanks.

Paul, a great effort posting this thread. Plenty of fabulous pics, and a lot of time invested to share them with P Talkers.

And many thanks to Ben for organising the trip, and Michael, Bencassa, Harry and the nurseries for welcoming the visitors.

Just a few too many shots of that moron in the blue turban thing.

Ditto", the thread of the year Paul  and Great advertising for beautiful Far Nth Qld without a doubt,

 Roger, being from Melbourne, you would have needed the turban stop the sunburn and no doubt you really felt the humidity?

All shots you where smiling , and the be giving scale next to this "Showstopper" Leucomala  was a beauty.  Pete  

I have "No Idea" why my post went haywire, pls "correct it Dean, Thanks..

[cassowaryhill]

@comic097 cheers mate your a life saver!!!

[gob1]

Thanks for your concern Pete re the humidity. But it is Melbournes weather I'm concerned about!!!! It's slowly killing me, just like it does to some of my palms.....

[comic097]

Ok next stop on the list is Andrews (tropicgardener) place. Andrews garden is just getting established and is gonna look fantastic once he gets enough canopy happening so he can start to plant out his good stuff. Andrew just wanna thank you now mate for giving us your time for the day to show us around the area, very much appreciated mate, talk about an action packed day.

 

[comic097]

Time for lunch, George and Andrews had worn us out. so we followed Andrew to the beach for a feed, the photos don't do it justice

 

[Dave-Vero]

Wow.  For most of us locally, the closest to visiting was having John Dowe give talks to the Central Florida Palm and Cycad Society.  

Our corner of central Florida is having its worst rainy season drought on record.  Escaping to austral winter sounds attractive.  

[comic097]

Ok our last garden on our 8 day trip of North Queensland is Norms, and what a garden to finish up on, Sensation garden, Sensational house, Sensational view

There's Norm, center pic
