Pictures of my palms in South Florida

[Mandrew968]

I wish I could grow these palms in St. Augustine but these palms are at a home I own in Palm Beach Gardens. I have a garden in St. Augustine as well. Unfortunately it is not as nice as the one in PBG. I will post a new thread on the St. Augustine palms soon. I have to get thru all of the PBG pictures first.

Rick, it's still impressive! I am not sure I could grow some of those species you have...

Great looking Kentiopsis, Dypsis, and the others you posted! It must be nice to have multiple properties for your collections.

High 64F, Low 49F - mostly cloudy

I have finally got time to post a few more pictures for those that do not have access to facebook.

Licuala spinosa - I tried this one in full shade. I got a really nice green plant but soooo slow. This one is 4-5 yrs from a one gallon.

Ptychosperma sp. - these are just so easy here in So Florida

Howea belmoreana - slow here. I keep them out of direct sunlight. This one is about 5 yrs from a one gallon.

Arenga Hookeriana - not in the ground yet but one of my favorites. I bought this a yr ago has a one gallon. Stepped it up and it has tripled in size. Time to repot again.

I bought this as livistona victoria river - I agree it is very green. Any other ideas?

Chuniophoenix nana

[Beach palm]

Dypsis plumosa - I bought this as dypsis ambositrae. I bet alot of us did.

Chambeyronia hookerii - I lost a 15 foot Hookerii planted in the same spot to a hurricane. The winds blew it right over. All you can do is replant.

Cat palm. These will grow in full sunlight if you give it enough water.

I grow a few orchids too.

Hyophorbe verschaffeltii

clumping Pinanga sp.

[Beach palm]

hyophorbe lagenicaulis

here I am standing next a row of chambeyronia macrocarpas leading up to the front door of my house

Attalea cohune - with and without me. I grew from seed I brought back from a trip to Belize. The leaves are already huge. The pot in front is a seven gallon trchycarpus princeps I am growing for St. Augustine.

That's it for now. Hopefully I will get the rest posted soon.
