Richard I had Bismarckia, but it died in January 2017 when we had the greatest frost ever recorded.

While walking the dog this morning we were getting a sprinkling of rain and I looked over yo see the rainbow and this Roystonia (i believe regia).  With about 12" rain per year on average,  we don't see rainbows often, nor are Roystonias very common.

I hope this isn't a rerun, I never remember what I posted where. 

 

Orinoco banana pup I just potted up like 8 days ago, had literally zero roots when I got it from @5am. 

 

 

Time to (very delicately) pluck these jokers out and put them in some of that 100 pound mass of coir and perlite I just mixed.

A little dypsis species anyone!

This one is gonna be a little different and I deserve applause. I went to the blue big box store and they've got a rack of bananas for $15. This one had multiple pups and I didn't buy it. Same with elephant ears. I used to look at plants for size and overall health, now I look for multiple plants. They also had a clearance majesty with 2 7 foot plants that looked great that I didn't buy. Please clap because I am literally running out of room unless I get a sugar mama.

The green macrocarpa next to it is about to put out a spathe, they both do it at the same time. They call it the blonde flamethrower for good reason.
