So What Caught Your Eye Today?

[Jadd Correia]

I have been enjoying the rhododendrons color against the young king clump and Chamaedorea woodsoniana with new spear. As I am posting this image I also noticed a recent planting from Floribunda of Bentinckia condapanna (right side photo). Thanks.

A pair of W. robustas enjoying the morning show.  Cool-ish June Morning, Sunrise alighting Picket Post Mountain, while passing Boyce Thompson.

...Can't ask for a better start to a Friday morning

Here’s my eye catcher of the day..

[flplantguy]

Spotted the new spear opening up today after a long week.  The darn thing has pushed itself up out of the pot so the sunpatiens are both decoration and what im hoping will hold mulch on top of the roots.  Otherwise i may have to plant it to fix that.  They all seem to try to push up on me but i think its the sand eroding and settling since its a new house.  However the non palms in the yard have not done that or even the opposite so idk.

Some pictures on the Miami River and one picture of a Cuban Old Man Palm next to a Copernicia - maybe sueroana (?).

[Cindy Adair]

Great to see all of your posts Laz!

Jealous of all the Copernicias in your neighborhood thanks to you.

Dypsis lanceolata, a California palm growing in Fl.

My tri bear decided to drop three heavy leaves at once. 

[Dusty CBAD]

Real nice tri bear. 
 

whats that fan palm in the front right on the first picture? Really like the look of that palm also. My guess is pritchardia minor or martii

i love opening my front door and seeing this every morning .... it just never gets old and can't believe that this is achievable in Santa Clarita.

Tin, I can hear a slack key guitar in the background.

From what I can tell from the picture is that it's a Syagrus schizophylia, a very old one at that!

[bubba]

Could be! There are some well known suspects across the bridge:

[realarch]

Chelyocarpus ulei, sometimes referred to as a South American ‘Licuala.’

[BoliFloridano]

Some tall, majestic Royals (Roystonea regia) in their natural habitat, Hugh Taylor Birch State Park in Fort Lauderdale, Florida USA.

I only wish there were a way I could have gotten far back enough to capture the swamp they were growing out of!

Minor. One of my favorite palms. One of the Tri bear leaves fell on it. Hopefully the spear is ok.

Omg. I love this palm. I’m hope the one I have speeds up it’s growth

Vintage Oil painting by one of the “Highwaymen” exhibited at the Royal Poinciana Festival in Miami.

[bubba]

Great painting from the "Highwaymen". There is a poster on this website, who has one of the best collections that you will find.  
 

I could kick myself personally. The Highwaymen would literally travel around and go into office buildings, including mine before they became so famous. They would literally knock on your door and offer paintings that were beautiful for $20 bucks! I wanted to buy them, but never had any money on me.
 

The gentleman with the incredible collection, who only posts occasionally, had the foresight to see the magnificence of their work. They were taught by the well-known Florida painter, Beanie Backus, in the Fort Pierce area and traveled down this way to sell their wares.

One of those rare instances when a dead leaf is as beautiful as a live one. These came from a Copernicia probably fallaensis in Miami.

I don’t throw these out, I repurpose them in assorted yard projects.

Took the kids to a park to eat our ice cream and play catch and stumbled across this. Curious to see what happens.

[bubba]

Washy coming out of a Melaleuca tree! You better kill that tree quick! They will take over the world and no nuclear blast will touch them!
