Happy Gardening

Great idea for a thread Daryl. This morning was very foggy with dew all over the leaves so I thought it would be a good time to go out and take some palm parts pics!

I'm pretty sure that this is S. yapa. It has a strongly costapalmate leaf, even while young, and some blue grey coloration on the top sides of the leaves as well. It looks like a Sabal. From what I've seen the S. mauritiaformis has a flatter leaf as this stage and the top of the leaf is green and the bottom is blue, and when young basically looks like a huge Licuala.

Nice one, Daryl. That is a rare species to be sure. BTW, the light this morning was really nice so I took a quick walk around the yard before I left for work. This first set of photos represent palm trunks:

Outstanding photos from everyone. These really show the variety and details that make palm people so obsessed. :)
