| This is not one of the more fascinating palms, but there is some variety in its appearance, at least here in California.
This is my simple palm...
But here is a potted palm with very thick, stiff leaves that almost looks like a different species
Looks way different in the sun than the shade: here is sunny grown palm
and here was one grown in fairly deep shade
Some palms are really big
Here is another large one- over 25' tall
And this is another crazy monster
Not always are they so well pruned, though
Sometimes they are planted as though they are solitary palms
And sometimes they are solitary palms
Sometimes they come in different leaf shapes
and
and different colors, too.. this one is called Chamaerops Green Mound
And this is Chamaerops variety argentea
and last but not least is this great Chamaerops Gold Stripe
and a closer shot of it

| Wow, thats a lot of variation!!! I think they all look really nice (except the one growing in deep shade). Thanks for sharing! Pretty interesting! I wonder what causes all the variation? |
|
| Beautiful pics,thanks for sharing. |
|
| My biggest one looks like yours.I have 6 of the green Chamaerops palms.4 of them are the same shade of green,2 or darker green.My favorite is the blue ones,mine are ceriferas.I have 4 of them,mine are not as big as the one in your pic.Those big ones with the multi trunks has to be very old.That big and with multiple trunks brings big money,because they grow so slow.I like the Gold Stripe one.I've never seen one like that.Maybe they will start to sell them here on the east coast.Great pics.it shows great variations in these palms. |

| Fantastic!!! |
|
| Here is a shot of Pauleen Sullivan's Ceroxylon ventricosum recently
and a close up, showing that it is actually flowering! (see left side middle between the fronds- a fresh flower)

| Great shots. Thanks. You could never deviate from that one type of plam and yet have a variety. The mult-trunked ones remind of those carnival rides- the Octopus or the Spider? |
|
| That is a lovely palm-Thanks again for posting these.(-: |
