Palma Sola Botanical Park - Bradenton, FL

[PalmBossTampa]

Florida is a fantastic place to visit botanical gardens any time of the year. I plan to visit more of the smaller and off the beaten path collections this year.  I appreciate the folks who got the collection going many years ago, and the locals that seek to protect the specialness of these places once responsibility needs to change hands. Palma Sola Botanical Park is located within a neighborhood fairly

The map shows both exposure to the coast but also good reference for non-Floridians to see other nearby towns referenced in the forums

palmasola.org to learn more.  I’ll revisit over time and add to this thread.  There are a few sections of the gardens I didn’t photograph as i had my dog with me and attention spilt. 

Very few tags, but the Ptychopsperma was labeled microcarpum.  The upright pinnate palm with 2’ trunk was labeled Cyphophoenix nucele 

I asked for ID on another thread of the very spiny palm and it’s a Metroxylon vitiense.  I get excited every time i see something I can’t ID and so glad i got some quick assistance with ID here !

The palmate clumping palm is a Hyphaene coriacea
