But this one needs an ID....at first glance I thought it was an agave

Anybody know what this first pic is?

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/8289464904/" title="albatross 035 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8209/8289 ... 9881_c.jpg" width="450" height="800" alt="albatross 035"></a>

And a few more we all know:

I think the following is Hyophorbe verschaffeltii, the spindle palm:

These Sagos must be old:

Think this is Papaya?

I belive the first pic is an agave.

Looks like a papaya tree to me.
I seen one growing by PalmSprings once.

Thanks Aaron, that Agave is either just finished blooming or will bloom soon?
Wonder what color its blossom is; must be spectacular at that size.

..forgot this one:
My friend says she likes these palm trees best:

sorry I don't know what to say since I'm still drooling.

Just don't show the Mrs. that necklace

Great pictures! I don't know what I would do if I lived somewhere where I could grow pretty much any tropical plant I wanted! After growing my own private jungle, maybe I'd have to try growing plants native to the pacific northwest just so I would still get the satisfaction of growing things that don't belong in the climate.

This pic from other friends, who are in Mexico with their RV.
(yup, you guessed it, no friends remain in town here)

They sure got into the Christmas spirit...

growing things that don't belong in the climate.

Then you'd be trying to grow Cyrtostachys...
