This Metroxylon warburgii can take a lot more sun that it currently receives, but it looks none the worse for it. Lovely palm.

Tricky to establish here in the sub-tropics, but there are some around that look great. Here’s one of them.

Reckon that’s the deepest red emergent leaf I’ve personally spotted on an Archontophoenix. I was so mesmerised by it, didn’t think to check what species it actually was.

Not a palm I intend to grow on my own modest plot, but always appreciate it in others.

Stunning Foxy Lady on the left was dropping copious amounts of what looked like viable F2 seed. 

There were mature Wodyetia bifurcata, Normanbya normanbyi, and what was believed to be Veitchia winin in the same spot, so you never know one of them could have backcrossed with it. Nothing lost by trying.

Butia odorata x Parajubaea torallyi var. torallyi F1 planted less than 12 months ago. Looking great after a long, hot, humid summer. 

Proud dad moment as I produced that hybrid back when we lived in Adelaide.

The tallest Carpoxylon macrospermum I’ve seen in SE QLD. There are larger examples in the Townsville Palmetum.

Jonathan, thanks for taking the time to post all of the great photos. There are some fantastic gardens in your part of Australia and I’ve had the opportunity to visit a few of them. 

Say hello to the ‘Rat Pack’ for me! I had a chance to meet Daryl, Mike, Andy, Paul, and Wal, (RIP), at the Thailand biennial. On a subsequent visit to your neck of the woods, I got to tour Mike’s old place as well as Daryl’s, Andy’s, and Pauls. (Paul has since moved to Cairns and we still talk palms several times a week) The guys were so generous, taking the time to drive us to some great gardens and spectacular palm habitat areas up in the surrounding mountains, a breakfast with vegimite and a BBQ dinner complete with Pavlova. Ahhh, good memories. You’re in great company.

My pleasure Tim.

Daryl, Mike, and Andy were there on Sunday. I never had the pleasure of meeting Wal as he passed away before we moved to Queensland, but by all accounts and from reading his posts, I think we would have got on very well.

I've met up with Paul a few times now since he moved to Cairns, and had the chance to visit his new place once. It's a great spot there to create something very special indeed.
