Incredible growth of the base/rosette this year, getting really wide on all three:

2 Yucca Big Mama from Tim in foreground, didn't get around to planting them. At rear is a 3-year old seedling (yup...) of y.rostrata, although the leaves look too wide to be rostrata-labelled seed. The green seedling is a Phoenix palm.

Here's the "leaner" 😆 Washingtonia filifera that outgrew its fungus from last winter. Too bad it's going to end up laying down on the lawn:

Didn't expect this Cyrtostachys renda seedling to survive summer being neglected:

At left, 3 Jubaea chilensis "blue" seedlings, although I don't see a hint of blue on any of them:

These Nannorhops arabica (silver) are even more blue than B. armata. Stunning color:

Here's the Big Boy around the corner: T.fortunei. Carpenter said "ain't gonna fit in the palm hut". 😯

Cordyline red star has done well this summer, despite sun-burned leaves.

Thanks for looking!

EDIT: added this CIDP, looks like it's in trouble. Roots likely got too hot in our 7 week heatwave this summer.
