OK, I'm dying to know...there is a Dypsis hovomantsina in the 6th slide, white lower crown, red fuzzy upper crown, sort of messy looking drooping leaves. It just HAS to be the true Dypsis hovomantsina, perfect match to POM photos and description. So, I'm dying to know if this palm looked like...

Dean, I am surprised you actually used photos from the encyclopedia. I never actually looked at the encyclopedia, but did do some google searches, and checked Daves Garden and PACSOA sites. There are photos of these palms on the web, so I don't think either having them or not having them in...

Wahoo! I never win anything. Dean, I still want to see your garden, and meet you in person. My family is ditching me for five weeks starting next week so I can do all the "palming" I want...except that I have to remodel the kitchen, lay 15,000 pounds of retaining wall blocks and install...

Pholidostachys pulchra and Itaya amicorum Len, I owe you if this is right. Matt

OK I lied, I really have no idea on the 2nd one, this is just a completely random guess, don't bother copying my answer for the 2nd one if you know the first.... Areca vestiara and Itaya amicorum

This is torture. Can I get $25 for #2. I'm 99% sure on #2 now...sure enough that I'm not even going to make a guess until I have a better idea on #1. #1 looks so familiar, but I just can't come up with anything. Dean, are you removing chosen pieces, or is it random? I find it amazing that...

I don't know when the 24 hour clock resets, but it looks to me like more pieces have been removed since my last guess....so.... Areca vestiara and Cryosophila warsewiczii (albida)? Matt

Areca vestiara and Licuala ramsayi?

Dictyosperma album (rubrum) and Rhapis excelsa? Matt

It seems to me like the initial guess of Attalea allenii is the best. It's too big to be Allagoptera, and the leaves/rachis are more straight than any Syagrus I've seen or heard of, plus I think all of the acaulescent Syagrus are smaller than that (could be wrong, but at least nearly all are...

Damn, that's crazy. I had R sapida, but was going to guess Washingtonia on the second. How could you tell it was Bismarkia? Matt

Dean, Caldwell nursery has a 3g plant listed right now (the one with the purple under the leaf). My order from them was well packaged and arrived in good shape. Go to www.caldwellhort.com click on "collectors corner" and go to page 2. Matt

Ron, The smaller leafed plant looks like a Ficus I bought from Caldwell Nursery in Texas as Ficus dammaropsis. Does it have purple under the leaves? Whatever I got was a very cool ficus, but certainly not dammaropsis. My only complaint about it was that they all died here (one at my house...

Wow, that's cool Dean. From what I can gather from POM, I don't think there is a clear way to tell D arenarum from lutescens until they flower, and even then it's not too obvious (arenarum seeds are smaller, seems like the most obvious thing). There is are a couple things in the...
