Three spears on this Rhopalysyis caught me eye.

Canarys!

Now that it's autumn, watch for falling leaves! 🍂🍁🌴

Extremely robust crownshaft of Chrysalidocarpus canaliculata flattened an old ti plant. (Purchased as C. canaliculatus so that's what I call it.)

Pictures like these make me wonder about the work I am creating for myself down the road after planting so many big Chrysalidocarpus / Dypsis in my garden!

Whoa look out, the city parks and gardens use cable ties in public areas on large palms to prevent public liability law suits. Any IPS tours booked in for your garden ☝️

The fronds on my Chambeyronia hookeri are usually kind of slow to crack open, but this one was shut tight a day ago and popped right open overnight, a nice surprise!

I was hoping you’d post this Richard. One of my favourite palms on Palmtalk! 

I'm hoping that @richnorm will post the seeds to us Tim! 

Jokes aside, that palm makes me green with envy, well done Richard.

Maybe only half joking @richnorm ! It really is a beauty and the fact it’s thriving in a coolish climate makes it pretty special.

Good grief Kim, those C. prestonianus are beautiful. Dragging and disposing of those thick massive leaf sheaths are certainly a labor of love. Your garden is looking lovely.

Jason, I was going to say ‘you have no idea’, but I think you do. You’re young and strong, your Uncle Tim may need your help one of these days.

I haven't had this thing 3 weeks yet. It's been indoors. It had like 2 or 3 leaves when I got it and almost zero roots, pretty sure it was a tissue culture plug. 

ROOTS. 

LEAVES. 

 

Oh buddy you're gonna be a monster. (Mekong Giant banana)

Chuniophoenix nana flowering does get my attention, knowing I will be getting more seeds of a beautiful palm.
