Palms with Clivia Gone Wild

[Jim in Los Altos]

It’s the season for these Clivia blooms and the palms are “waking up” from winter’s slumber.

I love the really strong red clivia!  Where do you get those?

Looks great, how long did something like this take?

Much of the garden is 20 years old but it’s evolved. A lot is significantly younger and a few of the palms are older than 20. None of my backyard is pictured in this thread however.

The title is appropriate. This is like palm nut porn. Maybe a video tour of your full yard would be a good idea, à la Walt from FL?? 😉

Beautiful, Richard! It’s too bad they only bloom in the springtime though. Luckily they have colorful berries that hang on quite a while.

Yer there pretty boring all year then then  flowers make up for it the Belgium hybrids are the one’s to grow and the colour of seed is an indicator of the colour of the flower so yellow seeds yellow flowers
