After my short trip to the palm laden Byron Bay areas, I had a good look at things here at home. Some recent leaves and potentials waiting for rain. I was surprised to see how the established plants are doing so well really.

Hope you like:

A couple around the grounds, for the new ones who haven't seen any of my jungle before. This is what can be achieved if you are after the jungle style. Some call it a schamozzle, I call it ma jungle.

Great shots of your garden Wal. I like the jungle look as well, after all this is how mothernature intended gardens to look not to mention the biodiversity it attracts. Only wish my palms would grow as quick as yours.

Love your "jungle book".

Be Good,

Ronnie

I can hear the cry

of the leaf on a tree,

as it falls to the ground

I can hear the call

of an echoing voice,

and there's no one around

The nice thing about your jungle is it's impossible to take a picture of one great palm without accidently getting a picture of another great palm in the background. Yep, I saw the wodveitchia. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Danny, the brothers live out of town where the rains fall harder, where the rains fall I should say. The Brissy family are all doing it okay with established plants but struggle with recent plantings as I have done.

Happy Gardening

Thanks for the appreciation people.

Top left , either the Veitchia arecina or Dypsis sp.hills hoist  :)

Coconuts are here within rectangle. There's two together, one quite small which can't be seen properly in the pic.

Very nice pictures Wal. Think about how much more understory planting you can do when these guys all get big.
