I have been enjoying the rhododendrons color against the young king clump and Chamaedorea woodsoniana with new spear. As I am posting this image I also noticed a recent planting from Floribunda of Bentinckia condapanna (right side photo). Thanks.

Spotted the new spear opening up today after a long week.  The darn thing has pushed itself up out of the pot so the sunpatiens are both decoration and what im hoping will hold mulch on top of the roots.  Otherwise i may have to plant it to fix that.  They all seem to try to push up on me but i think its the sand eroding and settling since its a new house.  However the non palms in the yard have not done that or even the opposite so idk.

From what I can tell from the picture is that it's a Syagrus schizophylia, a very old one at that!

I only wish there were a way I could have gotten far back enough to capture the swamp they were growing out of!

Minor. One of my favorite palms. One of the Tri bear leaves fell on it. Hopefully the spear is ok.

Great painting from the "Highwaymen". There is a poster on this website, who has one of the best collections that you will find.  
 

I could kick myself personally. The Highwaymen would literally travel around and go into office buildings, including mine before they became so famous. They would literally knock on your door and offer paintings that were beautiful for $20 bucks! I wanted to buy them, but never had any money on me.
 

The gentleman with the incredible collection, who only posts occasionally, had the foresight to see the magnificence of their work. They were taught by the well-known Florida painter, Beanie Backus, in the Fort Pierce area and traveled down this way to sell their wares.

One of those rare instances when a dead leaf is as beautiful as a live one. These came from a Copernicia probably fallaensis in Miami.

I don’t throw these out, I repurpose them in assorted yard projects.
