159 Looks like Phytelephas aequatorialis to me, and the other one also looks like a Phytelephas or maybe Eugessonia??

The red wax palms by the pond look unreal!

I'm always up for learning new things!

Chamaerops humilis seems to grow better there than at our place.

I think this is Rhapis multifida.......

Wodyetia x Veitchia I guess but I have not seen these in the flesh before and the trunks look thinner than pics I have seen.

Perhaps that is because they are rather closely planted.

Or maybe I am wrong.

Who Knows?

I will post 4 pics of same palms.

I wish I could plant Phoenicophorium borsiagianum

out in the sun like that and still look that good. I have been told, I could but the ones I saw planted in full sun never look as nice as part shade.

Ari,

I think they always look better in some shade, and that's partially because they will be a little bit stretched out in the shade, and look even more impressive.

I wonder whether that Elaeis guineensis mutation will breed true from seeds. Do you think it is big enough to set seeds? Truly magnificent palm.

That Rhopaloblaste is so thin and dainty. I think I like that too.

Ari,

I contacted the gardens with that question but as yet have not had any reply. Perhaps someone else knows.

Paul,

After I shoot each palm, if it has a name plate I take a pic of that also. When I re-size the pics I save them by that name and then delete the pic of the name-plate. My memory sure is not capable otherwise and my palm knowledge is not that extensive.

Sorry no more pics of SBG.

Regards

Jim

Jim,

That is one of the most beautiful botanical gardens I have been to.  When I was there I really did not pay attention to the palms as I was more interested in orchids.  But, even so it was a great experience.
