Love those pix---the Christmas Cactus makes me a little homesick. We have a huge one at our other home and it was just blooming when we left. We
left it in care of a neighbor so they could enjoy it.
Next year we have to have one here.
Think my favorite, is the first pix.
Thanks
Diane

When we bought them, 4, we were told that they were kirby palms but I just googled that and got nada. Will post a pic of the palm when I am back on
my PC. They are very prolific. We probably have 20 now and could have more if we were serious about cultivating them.
The locals call them Christmas Palms because these bright red seeds come around this time of the year.
My chickens love the seeds.

In the pic of the Shoo Fly, are those oranges cut in half... to attract birds???
Great pics!
Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

No our machete wielding gardener sliced that puppy in half while trimming the tree. I happened by with my camera, noticed the fly and took the shot.
PS Sorry we missed you. Lets try again!

I think those are seeds from a Christmas Palm (Veitchia merrillii). It's sometimes referred to as a Manila Palm as they are from the Phillipines. I
understand that fresh seeds are best - don't let them dry out too long if you plan to grow more of those beautiful palms.
More details here http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/2223/
Even more details
http://hort.ufl.edu/trees/VEIMERA.pdf
Palm tree germination varies from 6 to 12 weeks. Must be warm. Plant the seeds at 1" depth using well draining soil mixture, Keep damp with high
humidity, and bright light.

Thanks for the palm picture. It's not a palmetto.
