Palm Sale at Naples Zoo, i.e. I Sell so I can Buy

Yesterday we rose early and drove the 40-50 miles south to the Naples Zoo, where Jeff Searle had set up with awesome palms I can't possibly find here. My recent selling had fortified my Paypal account with funds to buy palms. And I did. The back of our Ford Ranger was full. We planted four larger palms right away. The rest I have to repot before placing them on the lanai or in the jungle. I want to share what I got.

Areca montana - this little cutie is flowering. Hope I get seeds. I love the Areca genus

    Good score. I noticed the ptychosperma wotoboho has a red spear like ptychosperma watianum . Just curious do these also flush a red new frond 

    Nice. If you never smelled the flowers on an Areca palm you should, they have such a great smell. Good god you got a bunch great stuff 

    Your recent selling has fortified your PP account? What've you been selling, real estate in Tokyo?

     

     

    Wow, great haul there Meg. All really nice.

    Nice haul, the Archonotophoenix purpurea is really fussy in FL, then even if it grows well it's purple seems to be barely there. I have several and for me they are all this way.

    I've tried small seedlings before and they didn't do well. This one is much larger and past the seedling stage so I'm giving the species one last shot. It will be in mostly shade the hottest parts of the year, may get winter sun. With luck it will hang in like my two Howeas.
