A few of my fans catching some morning light. Bizmarckia still growing out of last year’s hurricane damage, T. radiata and a tiny L. morrisii

Looking up into the Sabal mauritiformis I noticed some fruit up high.  Never noticed this before on this plant.

A palm growing epiphytically up a big old tree. Must be a good amount of leaf litter! I think it's a nīkau, but theres a lot of other species nearby too so not 100%. Tī kōuka (cordyline australis) near it too.

Chambeyronia hookeri demanded attention this morning. Last night it was closed and I woke up to this.  Just as striking as everyone says I can't wait to see it open all the way.

Wow, good going. I had to hit mine with some CalPoMag because it was yellowing and spotting, took a couple of months, but it’s looking much better now.

Mine gets mostly ignored in dry full sun.  I feed generic ‘palm fertilizer’ from the Farm Store about 1x per year.

Yes, flowering like crazy. Unfortunately no fruit set

It needs hand pollination, if it is not a self fertile variety.

This caught my eye today, is there a compelling reason not to leave this as a triple?  I don’t care how large it gets as long as it looks nice but they are growing in a crack in lava-a small one at that

O`ahu has been invaded by the Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle.  Today I found over 20 dead ones under a trap and a number of small plastic bottles I believe had attractant and poison in them.

This located about 2 miles from the nearest coconut palm or for that matter any palm  I'm betting they be breeding in the forest litter.  I guess the govenment that has been monitoring this remote area for over a year has finally decided to try to POISON them.

Bunch of Bananas developing directly overtop of my Hedyscepe Canterburyana. Will have to keep a close eye on them, wouldn't want that to crush any new growth in the wind.

Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.

I took this last week, but a random Sabal Minor in the middle of a pine/oak/magnolia forest on my mom's property.
