A visit to a private gareden part 2

[happypalms]

 The garden I visited was equally as good as any tropical paradise found on this planet with so many mature palms in every direction to look at a photographer’s paradise with the right lens

I buy those bird nest Anthuriums and only have them for 2 years before they get enormous and I have to sell them or have no back patio. There are some totally gorgeous palms in that garden but the fully grown clumping ones have reinforced the reasons I hate them. Just when I was verging on weakening too.

Everywhere I see golden canes for sale they have crammed about 20 into a small pot.  Also the same trick with Chamaedorea elegans. Surely they won't survive if planted the same way.  I saw a woman the other day with 10 pots of golden cane so I told her to put 9 back and separate them out of remaining pot. She was really shocked as she really believed she was buying only 10 actual plants.  It's fantastic for you to have a big customer like that and if you can get them interested in trying out some easy to grow exotics then your future looks rosy !!  Cuban royals, Bismarckia, and dwarf dates are absolutely  everywhere here now which makes a nice change from Bangalows, Alexanders and Golden cane that almost every yard has.

I have a small collection and when I see large collections I first think about how beautiful they are. Then I think about the work of keeping up with them . Here , we have dry summers and I manually water the yard and I have 3 banks of sprinklers for my hill. Then mulch and weed control , I enjoy but it is work. My wife helps a lot during the week when I’m at my shop . Harry
