My patio railing is kind of my benchmark for growth. C. Plumosa, Majesty, Spindly Bob, and of course Dirty Sanchez and my queen clear it. Butia x Lytocaryum is almost there, and of all things my $8 quart sized GBOP is pushing.

This palm I acquired as (Dypsis) Chrysalidocarpus "Jurrasic Park" is opening a new leaf.  The new leaf is about 10' tall and a long way from forming any sort of trunk. A morning photo in the sun and a pair of evening photos in full shade.

Couple of leaf sheaths fell off yesterday…..these two D. carlsmithii are really taking off. There is a red handled lopper at the base of the right  one for scale.

I’ve not kept up with the reordering of Madagascar palm taxonomy, so there you go.

Potted Burretiokentia Koghiensis opening the first red frond I’ve seen since purchase date, while acclimating nicely under Howea Fosteriana canopy. The acclimation process has been enjoyable and I’m looking forward to planting it.

Was going for a bush walk and this caught my eye. Thought it might have been a double headed rhopalistylis sapida for a minute.

Hi there, 

 

after having two typhoons in a row I am kind of glad that my garden got away with a black eye...

We got internet back three days ago, power line stood its ground. (The first time during a typhoon...)

While the garden looks shaken up...

001.thumb.JPG.836a1ebce5209bf5c01898e9bea91208.JPG

...some palms didn't seem to flinch at all. 

004.thumb.JPG.f12aecfe0a83d3fb7282c31fcfc12a77.JPG

Copernicia hospita

005.thumb.JPG.9f21ed634406b45c44f3d7564a6c4eb2.JPG

Copernicia fallaensis

Close by but at the moment almost unrecognizable...

003.thumb.JPG.56b24019bd9a21cd9aaf957e226539f7.JPG

before and...

002.thumb.JPG.79fd3496c904c32dff4b5c8b175efa00.JPG

...after - Clinostigma samoense. (But it will survive - it wasn't its first typhoon.)

Anyway, another positive surprise and I was glad these ones went through the typhoon unharmed...

006.thumb.JPG.ce756e6c8aeeea121347bfd5eb3b2776.JPG

Bismarckia nobilis one...

007.thumb.JPG.6d79fd4bbd2e3b08dcd7592caf65f405.JPG

...Bismarckia nobilis two.

Finally without a scratch, too...

008.thumb.JPG.97ba0847d320055c47fcebae2c2514fa.JPG4

Pritchardia pacifica.

One thing I learned this time - densely planted areas got away with lesser damage than those plants setup alone out in the open. So, we have got work to do -

PLANT PLANT PLANT!😀

Lars

Good grief Lars, yet another tropical storm. We have been spared for the last couple of years and lucky our island has such massive mountains that deflect or tear incoming storms apart. Onward and upward……

Tim

Oh, and a snap of Chrysalidocarpus ‘orange crush ‘. (I need to verify that name.)

Aye aye aye… 40 minutes drive south and I am suddenly at the English Med. This is the Portsmouth area in 2022. The CIDP’s by the Southsea promenade are particularly impressive nowadays. Each one of these photos is a separate CIDP.
