random pics that YOU have taken.......

Over the weekend I finally got a chance to harvest and partially process the fruit from a mature triple trunk Ptychosperma elegans that I planted for a project years ago just down the street. The owner knew I'd be interesting in obtaining seed it......one of my favourite palm species.

Some of the seed I will keep but most I will donate to the local seed bank.

Exciting stuff!

The garden we built in the front of our hose. The one bush covering the sidewalk did get a recent trim.

Backing on to a virgin 'dry vine forest' micro-climate part of Queensland Wet Tropics where those are self sown - via birds or bats maybe - we were sold on something called a 'Manilla' palm; shorter and fatter and if anything even lower-maintainence. Gardening-wise the worst are dirty old Fish-Tails, and what's known as Golden Cane ...




hoping this will go back to fronds next time ...

Beautiful golf course. Beautiful lighting. Beautiful picture. ...But the most beautiful thing of all is having the relationship with your daughter that allows you to spend an afternoon playing golf together. Good man!

With that said...I sure as hell wouldn't want her lie in that deep rough. I'd be 4 getting up and down from there. Tell the groundskeeper to put gas in that mower.

Beautiful!

I love the crown shaft palms!

Manilla palms are very popular here..as are Fishtails and Arecas (might be what you call Golden Canes).

Here are some triple trunk Manilla Palms I used in front of a local church office:




And some Fishtails I used at a local day spa.....




And an Areca at a current project we are doing....
