Heavenly! And fun to see several palms that aren't seen much where I am on the West Coast.

I assume the current Dypsis decaryi location is temporary?
It's a great-looking arrangement in the short-term.

I also love the pops of color (esp the purple flowers in the first pic, and decaryi arrangement). Maybe see if you can slip in some red, pink or purple foliage in the planter behind the bottle/spindles at some point (to further emphasize what is already a gorgeous arrangement).  🌺

Thanks lol yeah these are some palms that are pretty common if I knew years ago I wish I had planted more uncommon palms but I'm still happy with them!

Thanks yes I am definitely going to plant some other stuff in those planters because I recently re-did my 2 zone irrigation to a 4 zone system because the original system from the late 90s just wasn't cutting it so that planter now has irrigation hooked up to it!

Nice! 

 

I'm jealous of the tropical climates, where "common" palms are stuff I can only grow in pots.

Yeah it's really neat to see other palms in other climates or even in pots in the winter.

Growing indoors in a pot is its own challenge. On one hand, I'm growing stuff that would never survive the summers or the winters here. On the other side, fiddling with lighting and temperature and humidity just to see plants move at 2% of the speed they move in nature is aggravating and expensive lol.
