Last Friday, 7/22/2016, I installed two new species of Copernicia to the garden. That alone is a great moment, but not a milestone... unless one of the palms is a blue Copernicia rigida...

Yep, that's right--Miami Beach Botanical Garden has a blue rigida. Kind of a big deal in my opinion...

While out sourcing this very rare palm, a friend, Jody Haynes donated a Copernicia yarey to the garden! It was a huge day.

Both of these palms deserved a prominent place in the garden. So obviously I made room for them in Copernicia corner--a section of the garden where we already have species: baileyana, hospita, gigas, fallaensis and both alba and prunifera. Guess you can see why I came up with Copernicia corner...

I think this rigida fits in nicely... though a bit smaller than I had hoped for. She will grow!

And I leave you with this last picture--one of my all time favorites of the garden. I would say both palms fit in really well with their placement.

No curbeloi in the gardens. My personal one that I have had for 3 years plus, looks to be declining currently. This palm is the slowest palm I know of, by far!

Wonderful. We need more of that here in California.

I will be upset if you don't come and introduce yourself--I have met a few palmtalkers at this garden(trying my best to make this garden appealing to us palm lovers). Hope to meet a lot more, too!
