New Palms & A Late June Update after 100F temperatures

 Largest container ever

I've had my mule palm for a while, but it's in a brand new container.


Underneath are my new Siam Tulips. These curcuma ginger are just spectatular all summer long and hopefully will overwinter well too


A New Palm Tree


 Today I purchased my first Washingtonia filifera! It allegedly has more cold tolerance than robusta & I absolutely love the way the curly frond fillaments stand out against the Canna Musafolia Rubra



Another new purchase (from costco) my Heliconia Lady Di 


Here's an update on the Bananas

My Ensete Maurelli with my citrus


Check out the Cycads! My Revoluta x panzhihuaensis hybrid to the right is really getting some size to it!



From the front pathway with my new windmill palm

Musa Basjoo, unprotected each winter




Some front yard veggies


Blood Banana is doing well!



Musa Sikkimensis and Ae Ae 


Musa Siam Ruby

Mekong Giant


Random stuff!


Parryi Agave, Citrus, and a few yucca 


Clivia Bloom






The Triangle Palm looks great!


Bismarkia palm had a rotten new frond, but looks like it could be growing out of it. I hope!


My Medinilla myranthia 



Lady Palm, New Zealand Flax, licuala palm, and ficus tineke 


Geranium & aeonium



Citrus & crown of thorns



An update from the Pond

My Joey Palm was hiding for a while but I found it in a bush and it is doing well!


Tillandsia


Fishtail & Spindle Palm


My only surviving windmill palm in my Long Island yard


Plumeria Update

Inca gold is slowly waking up. Lots of blooms on the way though! Jackie is a little farther along.



A single flower on my California Sunset


One of my three Variegated Hibiscus. I believe this is snow queen.
