Foxpalms Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 (edited) @GoatLockerGuns If you want to see some interesting plants next to the five guys near st Paul's cathedral there are some kentia palms in pots that have been growing outside unprotected for a few years. There's also the bougainvillea and Norfolk Island pine in Fulham and the largest CIDP there not far away. There are also some Washingtonia robusta's in st James square. There are a few palms in the Victoria Embankment gardens, Battersea park and the Chelsea pyhsic garden. You also occasionally come across interesting things such as monstera deliciosa, citrus limon, birds of paradise around Mayfair and Soho. There are 2 nice potted Washingtonia robusta outside the Savoy. The first image is where the kentia palms are. Edited May 13 by Foxpalms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some in another location of the yard, but you're right, I might take some cutting and put some over here as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Well this is sort of cheating, because the subject in this case was a different palm. I did use the arch of the Chrysalidocarpus prestonianus to frame the photo, with the subject being the smaller Chrysalidocarpus bef on the other side of the pavers. The Coccothrinax was also part of the framing out of necessity. I know I have used palms for framing portraits many times over the years. 4 33.0782 North -117.305 West at 72 feet elevation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
