Walking around the neighborhood and this guy jumped out, never seen him before..  variegated Sabal

Morning garden walk with Suubi at the new house and these Chrysalidocarpus Sp Mayotte hybrids caught my eye.  
 

 

Ptychosperma microcarpum is thin/tiny palm that is well put together, with a beautiful habit. 

Hey Jason, thanks again for the Chrysalidocarpus malcomberi photos. You saw this one a few years back before trunking, it has since grown quite a bit. Great color and nice leaf arrangement, although it still looks very similar to C. mananjarensis to me.

Another old crownshaft on a Chrysaltidocarpus prestonianus came off today and the new color never fails to catch my eye.

Amazing!  I’m about to plant one here in Pepeekeo that’s been in a 15 gallon pot for too long. Will be happy to get in the ground

So nice!

This time of year in Florida, flowering sabal palms with nice, healthy-sized crowns look beautiful and quite elegant. I was also struck by this little "sabal minor that could" growing in the middle of a tree. 

Oenocarpus distichus starting to get some size

A. alexandrae, var. 'entire leaf' 😘

Are these two 20 foot plus P. robellenii down in Key Largo hybrids?

Chambeyronia Macrocarpa var. Hookeri new leaf😃

Jason, that’s incredible! Mine was just not in the right spot, I’m pretty sure it would die if I dug it up. Wouldn’t hurt to try I guess. Anyway, your’s is well on it’s way to monsterdom.

Spiny Astrocaryum mexicanum at ANSG:

As always, my submissions. To this thread are a little on the lame side compared to the many amazing palms posted here. But anyway, here are some random shots from around the yard today. 

Storm trying to push in. 

A friend came by and hooked me up for my birthday. Iguanura speciosa 

Heterospathe Barfodii flowering like crazy and just dropped a frond 

 

Kerriodoxa elegans at ANSG:

The spear cracked open into two as one is about to open it's leaflets on one of my Chrysalidocarpus decipiens.  The color immediately drew my attention.

Calyptrocalyx showing some nice color 🥰

Newly planted Dypsis Basilonga opening new frond!  So far it hasn’t burnt back at all. It gets dappled light most of the day .The brown leaves were already present when planted. Next to it , on the right , you can see partial view of Dypsis Plumosa. Harry

Another one of @DoomsDave Dypsis . Happy in its new home. This one a Dypsis Lanceolata , already showing growth. I spear marked it to the next petiole to show growth. That is about 3 weeks ago. HarryThe petiole on the right has a black line where the new spear was when I planted it.It looks like this one may clump by the way the base looks. 

Saw these at the Publix nearby and i always marvel at their height and health. They are well cared for.  And older im sure since they are over 6 feet tall.

The sweet aroma of Plumeria drew me closer to this. HarryThis came from a chunk that broke off from the parent after a major wind event a few years ago!
