pics of a few of my new palms

Post by Pazuzu »

I know I am probably going to have to post all these separately because I seem to recall I couldn;t figure out how to post them all at once.
These are some of the almost 40 new rainforest understory palms I got from Hawaii.
This is Asterogyne martiniana. It only gets about 3 ft tall and is solitary. It comes from Central AmericaImage

This is a species of Pinanga from Sarawak. It is very rare. It has a beautiful mottled leaf and at maturity, its seeds are a bright blue color. I hope I get to eventually see that!Image

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
