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!

Early July in my parent's backyard

I love this view! 






"I did a thing" A really difficult thing! I decided it was time to take some cuttings of my plumeria divine. It's one of my absolute favorites and it is loaded in SO many plumeria infloresences. It's so prolific that a single branch can sometimes have TWO inflorescenes. On the same branch.... it is wild. 





Here are some happier photos! My oleander is blooming so nicely.


So are the hardy gardenia. My Gardenia Summer Snow has a few blooms! 


No blooms on my "Pretty Princess" Plumeria, but my Plumeria "Jenny" has a huge inflo! 


Thanks for looking!

September Plumeria and blooms on Staten Island

We've had near record temperatures to kick off the first month of Meteorological Autumn, and our first heat wave of the season. (In New York, that's defined as 3 days in a row of 90F or warmer). The tropical plants are loving it!

Plumeria Divine




Plumeria "Jenny"


Plumeria Jenny at night



Tropical Hibiscus adds so much color! The variegated hibiscus isn't my favorite. 


 Hibiscus Cajun Cocktail, however a new favorite!




The bottle palm behind it up close! 

For fans of cold-tolerant palms, here's an update on the Windmill Palms


BBQ with the family. It was delicious!
