After months of drought we are finally getting some rain, about 6-7" this week, with a possibility of a visit from TS Elsa early next week. But when it's raining I can't work outdoors and I am fighting a 5-day migraine. What else to do but post recent photos from the back yard jungle.

Chamaedorea tepejilote, Cape Coral, FL with seeds

Meg, your H. dransfieldii is looking good! I don’t know why I was surprised, but it looks happy.

It seems to be even after 3 winters in the ground. This is not one of the oh-so-feeble Hydriasteles. It can't take FL sun so I planted it deep under canopy. It has flowered the last couple springs but the seeds abort. A fine palm that deserves more widespread use.

I agree, a very elegant palm with rather unusual leaf structure.
