Nice article Geoff! Sure wish I could grow a bismarkia...

[Peter]

Here are my Bismarkias:

[amazondk]

This is a bismarkia that I planted about a year ago. The fronds close to the ground are the ones that were the height of the tree when I planted it. It did real well last year through the dry season. I have planted 3 more near this and have more seedlings I am going to put in the ground.

Anyone has pictures of Coccothrinax sp "azul"? and N. ritchiana?

Spectacular Brahea armata seedling JV...I've killed so many of these here in the past by overwatering them...I guess it's time to try them again...

Thanks for the comments Gileno,

How was that "slight touch" of Henry...! Amazing what football players can do to go to the World Cup...!!

But don't worry too much, I think they will (the French) need more than that to even qualify for the next round...!

The most interesting group will actually be Brazil, Portugal and Ivory Coast... Some surprises maybe...?

But hey, by this time, the weather will be fine again and palms will be happy...So we will too!!

Here are some blue Palms I have growing in North Texas

Brahea armata

C. humilis cerifera

Sabal uresana

All of these images were taken a few weeks after being exposed to 15F.

[Walter John]

Palm sung blue, everybody knows one..

Here's what is likely the very last photos of these palms that I'll take. I have been informed that the new owner is going to try his best to retain the bismarkias in his landscape plans. He also has told us that he plans to keep any plant within 3 to 5 metres from the back fence which would mean that the big biz would stay along with many other decent palms as well.

Here you go blue lovers, my two bizzies and one Sabal:

[Walter John]

But wait there's more blue in them thar hills (Jacksons Jungle).

Lanceolata and cabadae

[bubba]

Several Dypsis decaryi that seem blue:

A couple more:

Do you love portuguese palms? Maybe specialy in Algarve, Lisbon and Oporto!

Nice to know that!

France against Portugal, the final game of South Africa 2010! What about it?

[Got Palms]

Here are two of my favorites enjoy!

[SunnyFl]

Anyone has pictures of Coccothrinax sp "azul"?

I have a pic of my azul - but it's not very blue, except for the silvery underside of the leaf.

[tjwalters]

Sabal uresana

Love the blue (S. uresana?) against the golden canes of bamboo (original pic). Very nice!

[Gbarce]

Probably the bluest palms I have are these Brahea armata seedlings. They don't do too well over here during the rainy season though.

[Gbarce]

Phoenix sylvestris with no trunk yet
