If you see em get em. 
They would grow there the Oraniopsis is cool tolerant and the lacospadix is just as cool tolerant. Oraniopsis is slow so most likely a snail in your climate!

This is surely only a must have for those who have not reached the half way point of their life expectancy

A true gardener never stops planting plants. Iam planting palms I will never see fruit, never get a trunk and never see them mature in the years I have left. Iam leaving behind a future generation garden, someone on day will say whoever planted this garden must have had a vision! Here’s another trio worth planting!chamaedorea falcifera Pinanga rumphianareindhartia latisecta

I must get myself a greenhouse 🤩🤩🤩

Get two that’s what I did, one is not enough! 😂😂😂

It's great hobby for mental health 😊

I had one "laboratory" and had to let it go 4 years ago. Definitely will try to get one again 😁 🥂

A wonderful hobby, and plants will save your mental health that’s for sure.

Yes! I had a pretty nice , heated greenhouse at my old house . I left it behind and there really isn’t much room up here for one like I had but I am looking at building a lean to style against the house just for my seedlings. I would spend some time in my greenhouse , just fussing about or sometimes sitting in my chair ( it was sauna like ) having a cuppa tea .

I stole a saying from the late Jimmy Buffet, “ Mental Floss” . I do get anxious from time to time so I do a walk about the garden and it calms me to touch the palms and feel the cool energy coming from our garden. The only other thing that helps is cycling . Harry

A path way to ease of mind………east side.

Most of the area around our home is pretty much like this. By the time I circle the house , I am relaxed and tensions are relieved. Harry

After an overnight rain squall it is even better! West side .

Definitely clears the mind, I can find myself wandering all day in the garden doing things and just looking around tending to the plants, either planting, landscaping, watering, or in just a plain garden stupor having a great old Mother Nature memory melt away enjoying every minute of it!

Nice garden Harry I can see the love and harmony that it gives oneself, what is it that they say om shanti!

Lovely walk about your garden Richard , thank you . Harry
