A Dorset Canary… 🇬🇧

A fat old trunk on that specimen…

Two beautiful dypsis saintlucei caught my eye today. 

Fully unfurled with silver undersides!

Three new leaves on our little onilahensis

 

Chamaedorea microspadix spikes potted up 

The seeds were gift from Mr. Richard, thank you brother @happypalms

Parajubaea torallyi underneath a Japanese Maple.

Oenocarpus distichus is getting big.  Rocky 2 and Suubi stayed still long enough to provide some scale. 

My Sabal mexicana with the sky

Unreal great to see happy palming🌱

Just checking in on the hand pollinated Chuniophoenix nana, and it looks like we have lift off! 🌱

First flower on Chrysalidocarpus “Orange Crush”:

 

Acoelorrhaphe wrightii at dusk in flower. 

white nerine bowdenii, which bloom here in winter, and a South African bulbous plant

And recently trimmed up. 

With a bit of luck a few Ravenea glauca seeds have set after many years of flowering. 

Socratea stilt roots.

I didn't get pics, but I'll upload a YouTube tomorrow from the hospital's WiFi - but a) more spider mites and b) my store bought mangos are sprouting! Now that I'm learning everything needs to be treated differently ----- my horizons are broadening. 

Latania & butterfly 

 

A couple of palms doing well in the garden, synecanthus warswecwiczianus looking good. Along with a new leaf or two on the bactris gassiapaes. 

Previously mentioned baby mango. Tommy Atkins, and I've got 3 more rooting and I'm eating one every day so I'll have tons. 

Same old Pinanga demanding attention at leaf drop.

A couple of the more common New Caledonia palms, but still very eye catching:

cyphophoenix elegans:

Kentiopsis Oliviformis:

A couple of beauties there @Hilo Jason. My Cyphophoenix is just a baby , nice to see what a larger one looks like. Also the Kentiopsis Oliformis , I just sowed some seeds and the New Caledonia palms grow slowly for me. Harry

What actually caught my eye today was my marojejya darinii, there are palms and then there are palms! This is one of those palms too me! 

Beccariophoenix madagascariensis in my desert neglected area.

Sitting right outside in the garden at the front door this ayanishiki just caught my eye again as it does almost daily. 
If it was in Japan it would score a perfect 100.  It’s not in Japan so it gets an absolutely perfect score at Halfway creek in Australia. 

Chrysalidocarpus Robustus on left and Leptocheillos on right. Two happy pups in the middle 

Today it was a long basal leaf, and Itaya.

Royal palm & the sky 

 

Brassiophoenix drymophloeoides and Itaya amicorum in the shade, and Dypsis sp. ‘Maroantsetra’ in the clear.

Stunning.

Some really marvellous palms friends, thank you all for sharing.

Ptychosperma elegans flowers caught in the spiders web! 

C. Decipens splitting again. Started as a double then split to four trunks below ground level. Two trunks have split at about 50cm above ground. The photo shows a shared fused leaf   A new spear has developed on either side of this leaf

Nice silver on this Bismarck and this Heliconia.

An Areca vestaria form and one of the Thrinax parvifolia forms - or at least obtained as such…

A nice foggy day most of the day in my area. Had a lot of rain relatively speaking in November and the temperatures really haven’t dropped too much so far, so everything looks pretty darn happy. Dictyosperma album var rubrum, with the standard form and conjugatum at its base.
