Is There Ever Too Much of Luping's Basil?

This palm is about 6ft tall. It gets slow release osmocote every 3 months and Miracle grow liquid once every 4 to 6 weeks.So. it has been getting more nitrogen than phosphorus, because it also gets watered with aquarium water about every three weeks. I may have a sudden growth spurt fixing to happen when it goes into the ground.

Hey Jean, on the Palm thread you mentioned your palm is an offset from your mother's plant.
Isn't Caryota maxima supposed to be a solitary trunked palm?

For 25 years that has been the name of this palm....I just googled a bunch of pictures....I have absolutely no idea who this palm is...absolutely a fish tail...questionably a palm.

I really was sure the original ID was correct. Now, I am just as sure it isn't....I need to edit a post. Thanks Dave. Now, Any idea who this plant is?

Okay. I have the Clustering Fishtail Palm, Caryota mitis 25

Check out this link Dave and see if you agree.

I've got Caryota mitis. When it gets light out, I'll get some close-ups of the leaf-lets. I'll check out descriptions to see if there is anything that stands out too look for.

Good news would be that the palm is long lived and is easy to grow.

It is also very high in oxalate, and the sap can burn your skin.

Now that things are back to normal, I guess this is a good time to show some palms!

Here is Euterpe oleracea, the Acai Palm.

This is Pinanga caesia.

Hey Rachel looks like Hurricane Bill is headed your way; you gonna be okay. Want me to come over there and help!
Let me know what's happening! The evening news made it look pretty nasty on the coast.

This is Kaneohe Poni, a Hawaiian Sweet Potato, Ipomoea batatas. A traditional Hawaiian food that provides high quality carbohydrates. (A good subject lately!)

Here is Hawaiian Taro, Colocasia esculenta var. esculenta. More good carbs (corms) and good veggies (leaves).

Bill was a nasty one,all right....
Dave make sure you eat plenty of palms today ;)
I have to work and then I'm on call till tomorrow morning....
You guys have a good day, stay cool!

Good morning, all. have a good day Lynnie. Don't let them run you ragged.

Dave, I understand why you guys eat the Ipomoea and esculentus....if you didn't they would overgrow the whole island.grin Do you also have Diplazium esculentum, vegetable fern? That is another goodie that can take over when it gets happy. Neat thing is it is completely edible also.

Looks like more weather cooking in the Atlantic....We have had two days with no rain and last night the temp actually dropped to 65, a record breaking low for us. rain is scheduled to return Wednesday.

Dave, all the information on my instructions/info paper are for C.mitis , everything but the name was right. Guess I should have been more curious all these years...grin

Goodmorning Moon ^_^

Look what's in the garden......Yummmmmmmm

Good morning Kassy. Those look scrumptious. How goes life this fine Monday?

Doing ok, have beem trying to get a picture of the butterflys by my butterfly bushes, but every time I go out there, they go away :(
Going back home tonight and then back to work wednesday night.

I didn't know we had white dill? LOL

Amazing the things that show up in the garden...grin. You may just have to sit outside for a few minutes until the butterflies forget you are there...grin

BTW, I really like your POTENTILLA....ROTFL...grin

OK, now how did we get that thing? And it will never make it to 3 feet high......not in the lawn it won't.

Funny thing is, it says it grows along roadsides......I think I have to take my camera after I am done with dishes and take a walk down the road!

More yummmies

oops, 2 feet, typo!
I need to check these things better before I send them in............LOL
It's still never going to get that big in this lawn.

Look the tree grew, so someone decorated it more! Way to much time on his hands!!

Good Afternoon, Kassy. Hey, Dixiegril's thread in plant ID is being used as a" what's happening on DG" on the Home page....even mentions gypsies....grin

http://www.plantsciences.ucdavis.edu/ce/king/PoisPlant/Tox-SCI.htm

This is a link to a study of common poison garden plants and trees. It is very informative and interesting...a little surprising on some things. Give it a look....

hi everybody! got home late, having a late dinner, starving!
Moon how do you keep them from running you ragged? I was lucky to get lunch today.
those peppers look especially tasty Kassy. I hate when I finish dinner & I'm thinking "what else can i eat?" And that's what I'm thinking....

Be too busy to listen when they try to add on to your already overloaded schedule....grin...my Mom would say "Learn to say no."...like that ever worked...grin

my assigment was written in stone, you just slog through till it's done

It sure does look like your can tree is growing Kassy. I think it's a keeper;-)

Lynnie, sound's like your a very busy lady.

Jean hope you have had a great day and hope you get your palm correctly identified.

Dave, Your welcome here anytime and you have just got to show the cluster of flower's on that Pinanga caesia of your's! I love the Taro's and I actually have one in bloom "I think"! Smiling all over myself.

Adding a pic of the campsite lizard's that hang out on the mountain land.

Hope everyone is doing well and has had a great day.

Rachel

This one think's he/she is hidden.

Maidenhair fern.

Cool Lizards Rachel. I love them. Are those Eastern fence swifts?

Figured out the palm is a clustering fish tail....Caryota mitis.

I have NO chocolate in the house...grrr...
that lizard is starting to look tasty.

fern or weed?

Ha, Lynnie! You got to catch those lizard's first.

Your plant is a fern......you can call it a weed though if you would like.

Jean, I have no idea what kind of lizard's those are. They have just been hanging around that site for a few year's. They have gotten kind of use to my voice and stayed long enough for me to capture a picture or two of them yesterday.

Here is another picture of a very cool plant that I admire when I see it here.

How neat. Now, is that just pushing out of the ground buds or just pushing out of the ground fungus? A rather ethereal looking little guy.

Gee Lynnie, my next suggestion was gonna be Cocoa and cinnamon toast....sorry.

K I posted AK pics on the wrong thread but you'll just have to go there to check the rest out cause I'm not reloading them :)
Here are the two last pics I was going to post then you have to go to Basil Mint and other goodies, man I just can't keep up LOL!

Glacier close up and glacier harbor seal coming up

one cold seal

Reminds me of Wisconsin in the winter ^_^

Gosh...the striations in that ice are fascinating. Great pics Ican.

LOL Wisconsin after the roads are carved out?

You got it

Hey Ican, we have become a rock band of gypsy rebels....everyone has a rock name....How about Ididarock for you?

Hmmm, don't know, kind of suggestive LOL. Ya, I have a dirty mind.

LOL Ican
