Hardy Gardenia

This is the best the gardenia have ever looked. I have Summer Snow & Crown Jewel in the ground. In a container I have frostproof which overwinteres in the garage. 

No blooms on Crown Jewel, I think the summer snow gardenia is starting to overtake it! 


The windmill palms are looking nice this week too!

My Palm Trees

I bought a Triangle Palm and Coconut Palm for just 25 dollars. What a bargain! 



I grow a lot of tropical palms. Here are a few! 



Rhapis excelsa, Chambeyronia macrocarpa (Flamethrower palm)
& adondila


Joey palm (Johannesteijsmannia altifrons)



old man palm (Coccothrinax crinita)

Flamethrower with Gaussia princeps. Also my flax lily and false agave! 

Bismarkia


Not a true palm, but a very pretty plant! Carludovica palmata aka Panama Hat Palm


Chamadorea metalica - aka Metal palm!


chamaedorea seifrizii


Caryota (have to check the species!)
Queen palm & Areca 



These palms survive outside for some or most of the winter! 

Chamadorea microspadix 

Chamaerops humilis 'Cerifera'


First year with my mule palm. Lots of Pindo in the DNA here! 


Windmill palms! 

Farfugium and Fatsia looking good too!

Staten Island in Late August - And some drone footage!

I've been SO lazy this summer, but I finally got my drone up for this update. First a few photos on the ground! 

The Cannas are massive and we've had a resident hummingbird for almost 10 years that is truly obsessed with it. 

My Adondila Christmas Palm that I've had since 2012. What an honor to still have it around!

Love this combo of Ensete and Caladium. The ensete was a discount this spring because it had no leaves. Now it's beautiful!


My largest plumeria, Salsa! I've been bringing it in since 2009



Look at that tasty fig! And the bottle palm too!

Hello from above!

I need a tower in my garden with that bloom. Look at the Trachycarpus, windmill palms!

Even higher!

For the phone viewers (honestly does anyone even look at this blog other than me HEHE)
Even higher

What a cool vantage point of the Trachycarpus

Hi!



Thanks for looking!
