    38F this morning, was only supposed to be 42F. I did not pull anything under cover, so hopefully no frost got the potted stuff. NWS currently has 34F and 35F for Monday and Tuesday nights. I just wanna get this cold snap done and over with so we can hopefully actually move on this time.

    If this will be a parlour book, I suggest a broader pallet. Look for "The Tropical Look" by Robert L. Riffle. https://www.amazon.com/Tropical-Look-Encyclopedia-Dramatic-Landscape/dp/1604690836

    Thank you all so much! Yes, its planted in the ground. I planted it in the greenhouse over 15 years ago, not realizing they are hardy here. Now, I'd like to reclaim the considerable space it takes up in there.

    I got the old version of that one, happy enough with that unless I get it cheap

    All good books, ornamental palm horticulture is a growers bible must have and betrocks! But another must have is The encyclopaedia of cultivated palms!

    Hi all After a lot of study I’ve narrowed down my list of palm books I want to get. I like info but also lots of colour photos. 2 of these I realise are more coffee table books but I’d be after them if the are worth it. I am more a casual hobbyist than a serious collector or grower with around 50 palms so are these books decent and for the criteria?

    Lol you have reminded me of a saying by Reiner Werner Fassbinder: Ich werfe keine Bomben, ich mache Filme.

    New Cycad and Palm Seeds (recently collected)

    tim_brissy_13 replied to garrytsen's topic in For Sale

    Another good batch of seeds @garrytsen 9 days after sowing I’m already getting germination on Trachycarpus Winsan, Himgarda and nanus. Got them on 26C heat mats. Some containers directly on the mats, some on top of other containers so temps probably range from 20-25C at the seeds. They’re in 70/30 coco-coir/perlite mix.

    Free Butia

    Scott W replied to Josue Diaz's topic in Freebies

    Hmmm, I would fully expect a pure Butia to have thorns on the petioles at that size. The fact that it's thornless is a large indicator it is hybrid.

    Another beautiful wet humid afternoon after a 39 degree Celsius day (most likely 42 in the sun with 85 percent humidity). So it’s a good time for planting some more of Mother Natures gifts. Another 5 years and one tropical paradise. kentiopsis oliviformis Stangeria eriopsischameadorea metallica dypsis procera draceana goldieana cycas deboansis or a x multipinata ceratozamia subrosephylla

    Not a freeze, but after the winter we've had, bad enough to be lemon juice in a paper cut.

    Believe there are ..at least.. a couple specialty nurseries out there that do grow various Philodendrons / related genus plants from seed.. Seems pretty easy too.

    Bananas will love all that water. Maybe put some lily pads in there too.
