I have SO MANY palm pictures from this last trip. Here's one I could get to real quick.

This ones for you Barb! If you can believe it I thinks there's bigger ones in my pictures. This one was Nice though.

Here's another cool one that blows your mind just looking at the fronds.

Picture does Zero justice trust me. These palms are crazy looking, I went back several times to look at it in different light.

Bill

O.K.

unless you have one better than that......

wicked nice Bill-

BTW-how much snow did you get 😉

That ponytail palm must be on steroids 😯
Had no idea they get to be such a nice looking tree.
Probably older than the Ark, huh?

Copernicia...drool!
The fronds have a "movement" to them, almost like they're, well...electric or something.

I can believe that the photo doesn't do it justice, there's something really special about Copernicia palms.

Here's my fav Copernicia hospita photo (even though the guy labelled it as a Bizzie):
I emailed him ages ago and he agreed it was a C.hospita, but obviously hasn't changed it.

Thanks!

Everyone's shots look fantastic!

99% of my pics were taken with my BB, so the quality isn't going to be great. Here are a few of my favourite pics from my trip to Egypt in June/July:

Arriving at the Aswan Botanical Gardens, on an island in the middle of the Nile. Behind the trunk of the washy on the left, you can just make out a Cocos nucifera. The double-trunking palm on the far right is a Hyphaene thebaica.

Hyphaene thebaica again. If I had known how much the seeds were going for on RPS, I would have made an effort to find some there! 😆

Some nice Phoenix near the Valley of the Kings.

More great Phoenix at the hotel in Sharm el-Sheikh, looking out over the Red Sea.

Cameron.

Cameron those shots are outstanding! Wow.

But I question the Hyophorbe lagenicaulis ID.
That pic shows a palm with a fan leaf, whereas bottle palms have pinnate leaves.
Was the tree labelled as such?

Got any more pics of the Botanical Garden?
Barb

Thanks for catching that, Barb! It's a Hyphaene thebaica 😆 I was thinking about the similar spelling of Hyophorbe at the time lol.

Edit: Barb, there are more pics of the garden here: http://palmsnorth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2811&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I would love to have a few of those. 8) 8) 8)

Bill,
Good stuff....got any more. 😆

nice photos.................Bill that Copernicia Fallaensis is wild looking!

I can't touch those photos!
My "best" of this week (Tuesday) is a cell phone snap of a palm growing indoors at the Tulsa Zoo. The staff member I asked wasn't sure what it was but said he'd look it up for me.
