Wow, beautiful palms!!...Thanks for sharing :)

Very cool!
I would love to have a bottle palm,I may have to get one of those,what are their winter requirements?
Very beautiful.
I have never seen a Madagascar Palm bloom in "captivity"nice! I had one about 4' tall and a P Geayi (same),they never bloomed, any special treatment?

Very very nice. Those cycads are pretty big and definately full and beautiful. Great job!

I keep my bottle indoors under 2 metal halide flood lights 175W each during the winter. It has worked for 3 consecutive years without any problems. I never had any issues acclimating the plant in the spring either - except for this year when I decided to lay a shade cloth over the plant to reduce the sun intensity...what happened instead was that at the places where the cloth touched the leaflets and caused them to bend, they ended up burning. I won't do that again.

I did not do anything special with the Pachypodium, I was shocked when I saw the inflorescence forming. I have a bunch of plumies that bloom regularly, and they are similar, so maybe they rubbed off of each other :-)

Cool ,Thanks.
Would love to see some pics of your backyard,if it's the one I am thinking of,you have a lot of nice plants and a very colorful yard,right?

xero-I am always excited when I see you post your pics!! You obviously take good care of your tropicals. I have never had success with the revoluta. Tried everything. I still have one that is clinging to life but for some reason I can never get one to flush. Your bottle is looking great.

did you ever try a needle palm in the ground on the house's sunny side - bet you'll be plaesed to see it survives.

I have a Trachy wagnerianus in a pot that has survived the last 2 winters. Its not in the ground because I plan to move in the near future.

Nice stuff x! I love the bottle palm.

Where do you purchase your cycads? Just curious. I find they are tough plants.
