US Botanic Garden

[PalmsInBaltimore]

A little rainy outside yesterday, but it was a great day to visit the US Botanic Garden. Lots of palms, didn’t get pictures of all of them. 

Some sabal minor growing in the bog out in the Regional Garden among pitcher plants and Sabatia stellaris:

A stately allée of CIDP:

 

Some palms from the Garden Court:

Adonidia:

Carludovica palmata:

 

African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis):

 

Copernicia prunifera:

Syagrus coronata:

Cocos nucifera ‘Maypan’

 

Closer look at the Panama hat palm inflorescence:

Serenoa repens in the Medicinal Room:

Large Chamaerops humilis in the Mediterranean room:

Two potted specimens in the same room:

Jubaea chilensis:

The Tropics room was where it was at. Here is a Pelagodoxa henryana:

Licuala ramsayi:

A pole of what once was a tall Roystonea regia:

I think this is what the Ptychosperma ambiguum plaque was below but I’m not sure anymore:

Verschaffeltia splendida:

Pinanga coronata:

an interesting potted Cryosophila stauracantha:

Caryota obtusa, I believe. Was hard to tell what plants some of the placards went with:

Some more of the many many palms:

 

Chambeyronia macrocarpa:

Hyophorbe lagenicaulis:

Some more palms and views from the catwalk:

 

Thrinax radiata from above:

Chamaedorea metallica:

Great spot, highly recommended. It’s open every day of the year including holidays

Lots of rooms besides palms too, including many endangered species.

The potted "Cryosophila stauracantha" is actually Cryosophila warscewiczii, I just looked at the label in the photo again
