Luke 🌴🌈🇪🇺🇺🇦 Gestern meine erste Wassermelone im Beet dieses Jahr geerntet. Es war trotz üppig gießen viiiel zu trocken für Wachstum im Sommer. Bin erstaunt, dass doch noch eine halbwegs reif wurde - war tatsächlich süß und lecker 😋 #freiburg #watermelon #klimawandel #tropicalplants #fruits #noplanetb
Project Palm Pseudophoenix sargentii Buccaneer Palm 🌴 Some palms deserve more attention!

Thanks to @matthewpearson
Project Palm 🌴 Think you know your palms? 10 palms. A few easy ones...and a few that might make you think twice. Watch, make your guesses, and tell us your score: __/10 in the comments. All photos were contributed by Project Palm members during the month of September. 📸🌴 #Palms #PalmTrees #PalmID
Project Palm Drymophloeus litigiosus Beguine Palm Native to rainforests of Maluku and New Guinea, this palm has bounced between genera over the years, appearing as Ptychosperma litigiosum and Veitchia litigiosa before landing in Drymophloeus. 🌴 Palm taxonomy is rarely boring!
Jason Kuznicki I’m beginning to understand why most people don’t plant so many bananas 🍌 🌱🌴

Project Palm 🌴 CAN YOU NAME THIS PALM? We’re starting at the bottom and working our way up… Take a good look at that trunk. 👀 Can you identify the species BEFORE we reach the crown? No cheating—make your guess in the comments before the reveal! 🌴 How quickly did you know what it was?

Project Palm Chrysalidocarpus decaryi Triangle Palm A familiar palm with a new name. 🌴 This species was known as Dypsis decaryi, but a major 2022 reclassification moved it—and many other former Dypsis—into Chrysalidocarpus.
