Palms at night

[bgl]

We had a thread on the old forum with night pics, so let's see what you have! I'm going to start off with a few that I took just a little while ago.

Before I do that, I'd like to mention that I added a few photos in the 'Rainfall in Leilani Estates' thread (Weather) taken during a very heavy downpour this afternoon. For those of you who normally wouldn't look there....

Anyway, here's a close-up of a Pinanga philippinensis

Marojejya darianii

Archontophoenix purpurea

Dypsis saintelucei

[bgl]

And finally a mystery palm. I think this is a Dypsis, but I'm not even sure of that. Any suggestions or ideas are welcome!

Is that palm named after the soda, All you need now is the grape.

I was going to write a song for colored palm leaves/trunks and name it "Red Palms At Night"

As always, beautiful work Bo. What's the age on that Santelucei?

Bret,

The D. saintelucei was planted as a tiny 4 inch plant in April 2002.

wodyetia bifurcata in the p.m.!!!

[paulgila]

butia capitata in fruit.too bad the rats are getting them as they ripen

[bgl]

Have you tried putting out traps at the base of that Butia?

[paulgila]

aiphanes(sold as caryotifolia).

[PalmdudeinSF]

Fantastic!!! How could anyone not love palms.

[paulgila]

i have tried traps but the rats "evolve" & learn to stay away from them.they are so smart i'm afraid they're gonna start leaving traps for ME(baited with palm seed,of course)!

Some of my recent experimental nightshots using multiple flashes. On certain photos, one flash was underneath while another was at an angle to the side.

Blue Latania - Latania loddigesii

Chinese Fan - Livistona chinensis

Night time is often the right time, since you can hit your subject with extra light and make it jump out against what might otherwise be a distracting background of nearby palms.

[paulgila]

ryan those are great shots!"suitable for framing"!

[bgl]

Yes, definitely very artistic!!

[Jeff Searle]

Bo,

   Your D.saintelucei has been planted for 4 1/2 years.Ummm, seems small for growing overthere with your fast growth that you have. I wonder if this will always be somewhat slow.

Ryan,

   Those pictures you posted were awesome! Extreamly nice, you must have a really good camera and lens. Can you post more,maybe at another fellow palm collector's house near you?

[Dave-Vero]

Archontophoenix tuckeri--Peach River king palm

Should be a sibling of one that did duty at a reception for John Dowe.

Dear Palmarum  

the first picture on post 19, the picture on

blue latania is fantastic. and wish to see this variety

in day light photo if possible.since this variety is

attractive and has disturbed me !

thanks for sharing,

love,

Kris.

[Palmarum]

Kris,

Here is a day time shot of the same Blue Latania that was in the first night time photo, above in post 19.

matlacha at night.

[Dave-Vero]

Eight small (10 watt) computer-controlled red-green-blue LED floodlights at Heathcote Botanical Gardens in Fort Pierce, Florida.  This view was opened up by the death of a small tree.  The lights look somewhat dimmer in person (leave it to the camera to try to make things bright) and this area will serve as quiet background for a "pond" of blue lights and a locally-built fountain of lights, to be installed after the pre-Thanksgiving plant sale.

That Latania is just a little bit taller after 11 years.

Can anyone help me with the name of this palm? It is in pot although the pot is difficult to see.

[Dr. George]

The palm with the larger fronds is johannesteijsmannia altifrons (unless it has a a long trunk, then it might be johannesteijsmannia perakensis).

There is one similar to it on the left, just poking into the picture, but has silver underside; that would be Johannesteijsmannia magnifica.

The smaller palm bottom center with the mottled fronds is Licuala mattanensis var. mapu.

All very nice. - gmp

Palms and quite a bit else.  More photos from Heathcote Botanical Gardens, in sequence on the same path with the lights at different phases in their color program.  In the first, you can see the green patch of philodendrons that's so prominent in the second (cultivar 'Burle Marx').  In the second, a nice Flame Thrower at center rear is bright green.

Explain relation of photos

Dear Friends,

This is a very interesting topic and palms seem to look their best during night under moonlight or under special lighting. And i came across a dimmable lighting system helpful for both still and video photography.So thought of sharing those details with you all.
