Brahea armata

The waxy blue leaves come out in the desert, they love the sun and heat, but also want to be deep watered regularly. Seems like older pics are gone from this thread. When I was in Arizona 1998 to 2009 I grew some brahea armatas. They glowed in the mid day sun and also just after sunset keeping the yard brighter than a green leafed palm for say 40 mins after sunset(?). Armatas take on an even more blue color when the sun isn't shining on them directly, dawn and sunset. They do tend to "whiten up" a bit with overhead suns, optical physics of the leaflets at work.

Here are some old pics of my armatas circa 2009. They were incredibly rare in yards in arizona for a commonly available palm.

first armatas at dawn. The color and the heat in arizona really helped me an early riser when I didn't have to work.

Then late day with bizmarckia:

Thought I’d add a rapidly growing B. pimo. Allegedly sort of a dwarf palm, but not as much as I would’ve hoped being next to the driveway and all. Something my wife reminds me about regularly. I can see why it’s referred to as the “furry hesper palm”.
