I had the pleasure of getting a tour of @oliver's garden and thought I would share a few photos of the palms he has growing that survived 2021 freeze and I was able to photograph.  He also has a Raphia sp. (sese?) planted next to a resaca so it stays wet.  First up Tahina spectabilis.

Medemia argun.  He has a flowering male and female but not getting any seeds yet.  He hopes to do some manual pollination as soon as the female is ready.  😊

Outstanding assortment of palms! So many real cool Copernicia's, Tahina and Medemia. Personal favorite is the large Cocothrinax borhidiana! Much bigger than the specimen at Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens!

That Medemia is incredible!

I had no idea there were any mature specimens in cultivation, let alone any of that size. A second generation of those two palms would be a great achievement.

My little 3 strap-leaf seedling has some catching up to do!  😆  I think he said it's about 25 years from a 5-gal.

That's a nice sized S. stenopetala for Texas, how root hardy are they?
