Went to FTBG last weekend during it's orchid festival.  Just want to share some photos, some of them of palms and some of other plants.

I saw some clustered palms (may be Chrysalidocarpus lutescens) with the top truncated, and orchids are mounted on them.  I was under the impression that palm trunk when cut like this will rot away fairly quickly, how long will they stay upright for the orchids?

Arenga undulatifolia.

A wonderful member of the genus and a fun palm to grow in S. Florida... if you have the room for it. Those leaves get massive even in a container. Specimens seem to care less that they are in pots.

Great timing getting a photo of the Ghost Orchid in bloom.

In agreement with Nathan and I have seen them many times in person so can confirm...the vines pictured there in the Fairchild arbor are indeed Petrea volubilis and its cultivar 'alba.' A lot of great vines on that long walk!

The plant in the red circle is certainly Torch Ginger, Etlingera elatior/Phaeomeria magnifica (et al. synonyms), whichever name you prefer. (I hate to give up the old Phaeomeria magnifica moniker because I think it is one of the all-time great botanical names, and so fitting for this magnificent plant.)

It is one of the palm mimic Carludovica species, but not sure if its the common C. palmata (Panama Hat Plant) or not. If there was no sign for it, there might be a thin aluminum tag buried down near the base.

I didn't see a tag.  May be it was buried under the mulch or lost.  I just assumed it's a palm now I have to go Google Carludovica LOL.

OK after some searches I think this one looks very close to what I saw.

post-354-023881500%201302912503.jpg

...and I found it right here on PalmTalk with the title Carludovica Jungle Drums but it seems it was referenced as a Asplundia martiana.

I love this garden! I wish I had been there, especially to see the ghost orchid blooms.

Thanks so much for all the great photos!

took another trip down to FTBG last week.

what is the name of this palm with seemingly pleaded and wrinkled leaves to the left of the variegated Licuala?  Didn't see a tag or label.

also, what kind of vines are on the palm trunk?  It clings to the palm trunk so well looks like it was tattooed on LOL.

Vine appears to be one of the " Shingles Plants " either in the Genus Rhaphidophora ..or related Monstera.

Could be Rhaphidophora  cryptantha ..or another sp. in the same Genus

https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/431537-Rhaphidophora-cryptantha

That said, there is a type of Monstera ( M. dubia ) in it's juvenile leaf stage.. See the iNat. link below.
