First one looks like Maxillaria tenufolia.

Thank you! It’s been a pleasure watching it grow 😊

Yep, that's an embryo!

103, with some high clouds movin in at 5:09PM ..after toppin' out at 105 earlier.. Another day of smashing records, yes ..but not quite as hot across town, and in most spots west of us today.. Bay Area and most areas of S.Cal looked ..pretty decent, though still warmer than they should be for the end of month 3 of the year.. Same can't be said north and east of us tho.. In keeping with this years, extra - amp -'ed " March Madness " theme in the air this week.. 🤔 ..Can't decide which one of these is crazier 🤔 This: Or... ..I can't decide.... 🤔 ...Pink is pretty on paper though.. 🤷🏽‍♂️ ....While temps will pull back ..a hair or two.. tomorrow, due in part to the same clouds moving in now hangin around through the day tomorrow, ...And to start off March Madness week # 4, any major cooldown as April arrives is still looking... ..Well, ... If only i had the ability to see into the future.... Perhaps from the gas station at our neighborhood Costco.. Chic Fil A just seems like a tacky place for such an " event ". ...Don't even think about picking up that chair to toss at me.. Regardless, ....Stay hydrated ..and no petting Leopards, ..or any other seemingly harmless wild animal(s) that might catch your eye while out on your walk in the jungle, ok?

Linospadix sets seed in my garden each year - Here in New Zealand though PM me if a few seeds in an envelope works

First one has a lovely honeysuckle fragrance

Tim, You are correct! The Palm was a Borassus Madagascariensis! I will locate a local Borassosodendron!

Hi John - I'd like to try 3 Jack's giant sprouts. 🌱🌱🌱 I'll send you a PM.

Tough crowd! Not the most professional and knowledgeable but I got a lot of material:

Both great ideas thank you. Will look underneath for some adventitious roots. I thought about staking...do you prefer the strap material that comes in a roll or just some rope?

Hello, I got this 5G windmill palm a few months ago, planned to plant it on my backyard this season. However it's not looking well at all Is this leaf scorch? - The palm stand in a relatively dark place (should I add artificial light for it?). - I don't think we overwatered. Perhaps underwatered a little? However it's winter, so the humidity is low. - We didn't fertilize it, but it came with a fertilizer added already. - There were no extreme heat, cold or cold drafts. If this is indeed leaf scorch, does this plan look good? - I'll get a longer soil moisture meter to make sure it reaches close to the bottom - Add a little bit of potassium fertilizer - Flush salts/fertilizer burn — Water heavily several times to leach excess salts - It's hard to find a place with more light in my house where it would also be inaccessible to my all-destroying parrots. SHould I add some artificial light?

Stuff I planted in March is already getting killed by the heat. This does not bode well for summer.

You sound like a fellow gardening friend of mine he said when you cut down a tree in the garden the rest of the trees mourn!!!

While we are on the subject of alogoptrea caudescens, here’s a couple floating around the garden!

Definitely not Lisa this is a picture of my Lisa!!! Not variegation I would definitely say something environmental sun burn, water problem cold damage herbicide or fertilizer damage!!!

They are a fast growing palm, I used them as pioneer palms in my garden originally, creating that much needed canopy. You think there fast in your area, should see them in habitat growing.

And with thousands upon thousands of hectares of land out there in Australia, one can quite easily spend a day in the bush and not worry about the rest of the world. I know every plant in my garden a planted every one with a beautiful vision! I now look at that vision!

Humming birds do love this Dyckia, but I was noticing that this one is blooming earlier this year than in "normal years". It sort of fits into a them of a number of posts. I was in the backyard and noticed a humming bird nest in my Chrysalidocarpus onilahensis. I think the abundance of Aloes and different species which bloom at different times are the big attraction for the humming birds. So perhaps in addition to thinking about species that attract the humming birds, think about which will flower at different times, to keep them in your garden.

A couple of weeks later and it is really starting to look like a flush as opposed to a few little pale green nubs.
