    How can I edit palmpedia?

    I finished my contributions to the shaferi page. I uploaded my pics and a couple of pics taken by Duanny Suarez (with his permission). I put the habitat pics at the top of the gallery. I added 1 sentence to the "habitat and distribution" section. I also added a photo to the Copernicia curtissii...

    How can I edit palmpedia?

    I recently came back from Cuba and I have started uploading some pics from that trip to the encyclopedia. I added pics to the Coccothrinax macroglossa and miraguama pages. I also added pics to the Copernicia hospita page. However on further convo with Duanny Suarez, it turns out that those pics...

    How can I edit palmpedia?

    I also have some nice pics of Brahea 'Super Silver'. There is a valley in Mexico where there are thousands of them growing together. There is no article for this species because it is new and does not yet have an official scientific name, not sure if it is technically considered a sub species of...

    How can I edit palmpedia?

    I have found some nice habitat pictures of Chamaerops Humilis Argentea from Morocco that I would like to share. I notice that there is only 1 article for both types of Chamaerops, which is fine to leave it like that, or we could split them into separate articles for the common variety and the...

    Clustering Archontophoenix

    Here is an update. I bought them as Cunninghams, but I think they may actually be Mylonensis as they have no Ramenta and the underside of the leaves has a slight hint of silver.

    Why do Floridians plant Phoenix sp.more then Californians?

    Interesting, people like what's exotic. Floridians want to feel like they are in Beverly Hills with all the Phoenix lined avenues, whilst Californians want to feel like they are in the tropics. I think the proliferation of Phoenix Palms in public streets is quite a new thing here in South...

    Show Your Bromeliads

    Very cool. None of mine are doing that well. The old leaves have gone all straggly and no new ones have emerged. Am I supposed to cut off the old leaves? What about the flowers? When they go all brown and dead, do I cut them out? Or do I just let them sit there and wither away naturally?

    Have I brought a pest into my garden?

    This weekend a bought a 3 gallon Montgomery triple. It looked in pretty bad shape, it was all yellowy and most of the leaves had browning holes on them. The guy at the nursery assured me that it was just the stress from the pot and once I get it in the ground it would be fine. I accepted that...

    Clustering Archontophoenix

    Ok here are 3 main areas where I was thinking of doing this, I have marked the spots where I would plant the palms with red dots. I am leaning towards option 1, but I am concerned that it will block out the sun from the slower growing Bucaneer palm directly in front. What do you guys think...

    Any advice on my sick Roebellinis?

    Here is a picture of the same one that I had posted before, you can see that the old palm fronds are a little short, these were the first ones to come out of the recovery:

    Searle sale extravaganza coming up

    Pretty funny. I think I showed up to this by accident. I had no idea that it was a special sale weekend. I bought two Dictyosperma Albums. Is it only open to the public during those special weeks?

    Clustering Archontophoenix

    I want to create a cluster of Archontophoenix in my garden, this is the look I would like to achieve: The plan would be to plant small ones so that they would grow up to be like this, here are some questions about how to achieve this look: 1) How close together should I plant the...

    P.rupicola,The nicest Phoenix of them all.

    Very cool Scott, I have been thinking about putting a Rupicola in my front yard. The problem is that I heard they grow very slow. So if I buy a small one I'll probably be dead before it blossoms into it's full glory. There are 2 places down in Florida that sell ones that already have clear...

    P.rupicola,The nicest Phoenix of them all.

    Do you have any photos of how it looked when you first planted it? How big was it? And how many years have you had it?

    Can this seedling be planted?

    I pulled this out of the ground at the base of an interesting looking Phoenix. I was just walking by and did not have a shovel. Maybe it got ripped from the seed / roots and it is unrecoverable. Will it survive if I put it in a pot?
