Heres a picture I took today of my Christmas Palm and an unknown "tropical foilage". Bought the tropical
foilage at HD this week. It has great color and markings.

Wes, I bought the Christmas Palm at Sunrise Garden Center in Lawrence Ks in June 2007. The place is a few blocks east of the 15th and Massachusetts. They sometimes have a decent selection of palms. I think I paid $40 for this palm.

I tried to get myself one of the gingers but the lady sent me a small cutting and it died. If you ever have any, mail me some please! 😀
Thanks for the compliments...

True, that's a variegated ginger. Lowes had some marked down recently and I passed them up. I kick myself for not taking the oppourtunity to get one. Taylor, I know what you mean man. I've done some trades in the past just to find out that the plants didn't live.
I really like the Christmas Palm, oppalm. 8) I have some little ones. I hope when they get bigger they look that nice.

thanks for the nice comments. I have several smaller adonidia merrilli (christmas palms) but this is my first one with some height. I'd buy another one tomorrow if I could find one.
