G'day G'day,

Is no secret that I love my Dypsis so I though I would give a little pictorial catalogue of my collection. My garden is now approaching 5 year sold and some of the earlier plantings are now starting to get some size too them, other palms are still in pots either waiting for spots in the garden (not many spots left if any?) or are deemed to precious to plant and risk dying or be left behind if I ever move..

Any thoughts, questions, comments or id corrections are welcome!

I will show in them in some sort of order so first up are my Big (or will be big one day) Dypsis.

Dypsis carlsmithii and prestoniana...

Dypsis sp."vatovavy blue".

Also belonging in this category from my collection are: D. orpedionis, Luecomala and robusta but not really photo worthy at this stage.

I am told this first one is Pinnatifrons (gracili)s hybrid...(nodifera?) and maybe a sp. Kindreo?

Fantastic Kenny! Love them all and would definitely spend some time staring at your Dypsis! (A little sad at the ones that I had but were eaten recently.. )

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do have the first one here labelled as D. paludosa and last but not least is Dypsis amboza ( I know it has a better proper name but it escapes me right now ).. Maybe it's procera?

That's about 95% of my Dypsis (I think) A collection that I hope will continue to "Grow"....

Enjoyed that very much. Concur with kindreo and the decipiens type ambo (but with soft leaflets), at least those are the names I'm using!

Fantastic Kenny! Love them all and would definitely spend some time staring at your Dypsis! (A little sad at the ones that I had but were eaten recently.. )

Thanks Bill, I do feel for you mate!! I have had my fair share of palm deaths either through my fault or by third parties ( rats etc ), it is very frustrating for sure!! If I could help you pull some weeds I most definitely would!!

Now I will move onto my larger growing clumping Dypsis. Dypsis Cabadae x Madagascariensis and Dypsis cabadae x leptocheilos..

That's an impressive Dypsis collection - grown to perfection. What a selection, are they all grouped in one section (of the garden)?

How did you come upon the Dypsis cabadae x leptocheilos? And of course, where can I get one!?

Perhaps the "highland" version of D. lastelliana? The more cold hardy one that grows at higher elevations.

Thanks Steve, my Dypsis are spread through out the whole garden. I do impose planting placement rules on myself though eg. If I have used a certain species ( not genus ) in 1 area of the garden then that species cannot be planted in any other part of the garden. This allows for more diversity and I do sort of try to group similar palms where possible.

The dypsis hybrid is very hard to come across here in Oz, you will have to ask your fellow Americans if there are ever any available over there?? I always try to have a reserve plant of each species where possible in case we ever do move house but in the case of this dypsis I do not have 1!! If I can it will be dug and move with me but in another 5 years this will probably not be possible!!

Ta Troy, yes many hours spent watering this summer... Generally with a beer in hand! Good fun sometimes and other times it can be a bit of a chore!

I need some help on this one please??? it looks like saintlucei but I don't think it is? Basilonga is the only other one to come to mind but I really have no idea?? Anyone who has any thoughts please let me know!!

You have a great collection. Love the Dypsis cabadae x leptocheilos.

I have never seen a true Basilonga split. Look under the leaflets, if it is glaucous like a Saintlucei, then maybe.

Thanks for your thoughts guys, any idea what it might be? Certainly looks different to saintlucei to me??

Is there still one called laffa?
