    Not easy to get shadows with enough contrast to show up in a photo within my jungle. 
     

    Here’s the runt of my seed grown Pigafettas still in a pot when its siblings got planted out today.

    I am sure those of you who live in sunny areas where palms are near buildings can get some more shadow shots!

    Interesting , my introduction to palm collecting was the home we bought in 1990 . It had a pool and my wife wanted a palm to plant near the pool . I went to a nursery here to talk to them about it. The manager was a Palm collector and member of IPS! Once the Palm was planted , seeing the reflection on the pool , I was hooked! Harry

    I agree Harry! There is something about green palm fronds and blue water that absolutely calms the tempest and soothes the soul!

    These are all from last night under 100% illumination, figured that would be the best time for some moon shadows. Can you guess the species?
