    Great to see your palms and cycads.

    One family...many trees.

    Happy Gardening

    Kris,

    Those are fantastic pictures of your garden!

    Great photos Kris!

    I think your unknown palm in post 14 is a Ptychosperma of some description and your unknown dwarf palm in post 19 is Chamaedorea elegans.

    Your pulmariea's look good too!

    To bad more people aren't like you! Looks like you have a little bit of paradise in the big city.

    Very nice pictures and plants Kris.  You still have lots of space to plant all of your container plants.  That is one big mango tree.

    climbers are called as.iam not superstatious but

    in india it is believed that when this plant begins to

    grow to huge propotions they bring good fortune

    and wealth to its owner.in my experience it appears

    to be true. :)

    thanks for the tour,kris! wonderful plants!

    very nice.

    No one cares about your current yard temperature 🙃

    Kris-- It is great to see your collection and home.  I like the lush entrance to your place, and admire your preservation of the tree in the driveway.  You are truly "one with your garden".

    Kris,

    The cacti on the left is Echinocactus grusonii.  The one on the right looks like a Ferocactus sp., but I'm not sure what species.  I agree with Kamipalms that you have a Ptychosperma for the palm in post 14.  Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

    Wow...

    So we finally got to see you and your nice garden Kris, thank you.

    It's amazing how we cultivate similar plants around the planet...I know mangoes are from India, but we grow so many here different varieties and hybrids here in NE Brazil that you would be impressed...

    Also, its funny how you name the Neem tree with the portuguese word margosa (we say amargosa, or bitter taste...)... are you located near Goa?

    The Phoenix looks very nice...so perfectly trimmed, do you fix it by yourself?

    Now we are ready for some more pictures of Madras area too...  :)

    Hi Kris!

     First off, great peek at your garden in the city paradise! Thanx!

    I would venture you get far more work done with your garden "hands" than I do!!  :D

    Your bottle looks like the cross between the Indica and Lagenicaulis.   Auyone else see it that way?

    And your Phoenix in post #62 is superb!!! You and your helpers and the "big one" have done an amazing job!

    Bill

    PS- Normally I would think you were nuts for leaving that tree there in front of the garage, but when you are in such a "green starved " area, I'd do just what you did!

    PPS- Looks like the next reply makes 3 pages!!  :P
