My tropical garden in Brisbane Queensland Australia. Taken August 2013.

WOW looks great mate

Great pathway though the palms! Walking between and underneath palms is one of my favorite things. You experience them – instead of just looking at them.

I’m still learning to identify palms and would appreciate your help. Do I see Dypsis cabadae and/or pembana? A teddy? Also, is that a Laccospadix to the right of the posts?

And lastly, what is the fan palm with the orange petioles? It’s beautiful!

Thanks! Lee

Bismark,

If you wish to post some more pictures of your garden, you're most welcome!
I am looking forward to seeing them.

I love the path and the pavilion...

And yes! can you give us the names of these beauties?

Thanks

Philippe

Great photos Bismark, you have done a great job!!

I am sure you will continue to add to it, you look like you have the gardening bug and no pesticide will get rid of it!!

I could help with the id's but you deserve the glory here!!

More photos would be great!!

Ok the first image is Dypsis Cabadae. Second image, to the right of the left hand post is an Areca Vestiaria(orange form) in the foreground with a Howea directly behind but I am not sure which one. The third image is the Latania Lontaroides whose petioles were much redder than this but they do lose the colour with age. Still a beautiful palm though. The fourth image is the Dypsis leptocheilos which you refer to as the Teddy but we call Redneck in Brisbane. I am in the process of renovating other parts of the garden but I will add pictures of my progress.

Oops I have been informed by Comic097 the first image is Dypsis Pembama and not a Cabadae as I posted earlier. Cheers.

Hey Bismark, I think the palms in the first pic are Dypsis cabadae x madagacariensis. Look like them to me and if they are growing at a rocket like speed then it is a confirmed Dypsis hybrid.

Cheers mate

I was going to say the same thing Ben.

A rocket like speed indeed KennyB, I will take your word for it.

I did say the same thing, I just didn't post it.
