Great stuff Bill. Is that last one the plumose Lastelliana thing Marcus had? Any clue as to what it could be?

Bill, great to see your beautiful "refreshing" wife Nong giving scale to all the "Insanely Irresistible" Palms, and Gee Bill, the growth since you last posted all these is "out of this world" esp Carlsmithii :bemused: the Cypho tanga / entire leaf Prestoea ensioformis, Blue decipiens, Tahina, Lemur, Ovobontsira, etc well, all of em :)

Your a legend, keep happy n healthy Bill and Nong :)

Every time you post Bill I am in awe of your palms.... Thanks for posting!!! Love them all especially the carlsmithii and the last mystery palm!!

Steering well towards a "Hybrid", the future revolution of growing palms, and making palms "more available" to grow in the many 1000s :)

OMG Bill that carlsmithii is unbelievable! Your Lemur is about to trunk and I'm drooling over its picture and the rest of your garden shots. And of course lovely Nong added beauty AND scale to every photo.

The variety of palms plus how well they are growing and now Nong among them for scale, is all eye candy for participants of Palmtalk. Tells me I'm due for another visit to your garden. Hope to see u on Friday evening for the HIPS event.

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!

Thanks Bill for posting photos . Love to see palms that have some size to them. Helps with my wish list.

Posted

Great garden Bill. Thank you Pedro for us who are challenged when trying to identify the palms!! The Areca catechu 'alba' would give a lot of color to any garden. Beautiful.

OK THE DYPSIS CARLSMITHII needs it's own zipcode !
