Lost and Found

[Really full garden]

I live in a real jungle and it is easy for my palms to "disappear". This morning we actually had some sun and so I went exploring and found a 3m tall Wallichia oblongifolia shining in the dappled sun .I have not seen this palm for at least three years and it has done very well on its own.When it was planted four years ago it was Wallichia densiflora.

I also found a variegated rhapis palm on deaths door that I hope I can save (planted in a too wet and now too dark location).

Our rainy season is starting to slow down.We are getting just an inch of rain per day instead of the usual five to six inches just a week ago.

I wish I could be lost in your jungle and never be found anymore.

Very nice picture, thanks.

At least I think I have found it in your posted picture!

Boy Scott, many of us wished we had your problem. Scouting through your forest.....Dr. Livingston I presume?

your variegated Rhapis will revert unless you drown it in daylight

Oh Philippe you should think twice about that.I live in a very dangerous place.

Sorry the picture isnt better ,but that was the best I could do. You cant see the forest for the trees.

Tim there are more than 125 acres, mostly steep slopes.It is a real workout just to see a portion.

It really reminds me of some caryota/arenga hybrid. It is such a neat,well behaved clustering palm .I do not know why it is not more popular.

It still has several nicely variegated trunks. About half of it had died.It was planted in a semi shady spot,but because of slow growth and the aggressive plants around it,it just got smothered. I separated it into two plants and now have them in pots in bright shade with a little morning sun.

Cindy, it is a constant battle to keep up with all the plants.I am endlessly cutting windows in the canopy to let in light.

Scott - Who looks out for the Jaguars while your palm touring?

Sadly the last jaguars were hunted in the 80s. There are still pumas,margay and jagarundis. I have much more to worry about from my human neighbors. Kidnapping is a much bigger threat to me than any animal. I have armed security 24hrs.
