Just ordered these small packets from RPS:

Chamaerops humilis var. cerifera, Nannorrhops arabica (Silver), Nannorrhops ritchieana.

Plus my old nemesis 😆 Copernicia hospita. 😉

Each summer I vow to not order any more seeds.
And then the "winter disease" sets in...gotta start something. :clown:

Anybody else with this disease?

Licuala Ramsyi (already germinated), Dioon edule, Ensete Ventricosum, Needle Palm (Rhapidophyllum) that were sowed last decenber, just noticed spear emergance from the soil, Seabuckthorn (hippophae), peaches, plums and strawberries (later in the year). I might order some maples and one last shot of cycad/palm seeds.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Oh no it's in my head "Gotta be startin somethin"

I have a few Unknowns from Vacation (looked like palm seeds) and some yucca seeds someone brought me from Texas no luck yet on the yuccas the 1st try. My house, basement and garage are full of palms, bananas tropicals to overwinter, not sure why I need more.

Already started Lycium barbarium and Arbutus unedo already growing a week later after being in the fridge for a year.
Then later, Magnolia ashei, more various yuccas and agaves, Eucalyptus deb., four pawpaw cultivars, Pterocarya fraxinifolia, Entada rheedi, rooting some Dawn redwood cuttings.
I am looking for Gunnera manicata and Xanthosoma robustum seeds or even better, corms!

That xanthosoma is sexy................

I grew some colocasia from seed. Sand like seeds, really small. They do not like to dry out at all, but dont need too much sun. I killed em (colocasia fallax) by letting em dry out.
