Nice pic's Jon , I have identical pic's plus some from our visit in September, I preferred the botanical garden more than monte palace.

Hi sally, they will transplant, but there a hell of a size without equipment & manpower!. I'm all for saving them but there not really sought after once they've been dug out...this is due to the re establishing time/aftercare required.I'm sure someone local would snap your hand off....don't expe...

You will be blown away Jon, Grev, i'll post some pic's when time allow's …. I have plenty!!.

Ha ha, I know what you mean chez!...they have a stigma of old people attached to them, especially the mop head one's. I will get around to photo's....in the monte garden's in monte there were plenty of various hybrid mopheads that looked stunning amongst palm's/bamboo's etc,such vibrant flower's &am...

We got back about 12 days ago...never seen anywhere so inspiring for tropical/exotic gardeners. There municipal garden's are sometimes more impressive than one's you pay to visit!, I've got some great idea's i'd like to implement when time allow's especially the introduction of more hydranger's ,the...

Nice specimens, Roddenfolia does very well here & growing into nice size specimen's now...very expensive to buy at retail nurseries though.

O.m.g...have not seen pic's of that for some time!, are you overdosing it on leek's!.

There are obviously variants of rostrata, my planted out one took seven years to start looking crappe. also started pupping ,time will tell with the other large one that's been planted this year....almost nothing gets protection here, if anything fail's they get donated to someone with greenhouse or...

Linearis ….100%.
I grow thompsonia as a very large specimen & this get's slight damage but recover's rapid in late spring/ early summer, I grow large specimen rostrate but here they take an age to look good once damaged.....mostly they never recover fully.

These certainly are fussy plant's in part's of uk, I bought a stonking one with approx. four feet of trunk & stunning head in 2011....planted out from the start in south/west position in 100% draining medium ,looked fantastic for five years then started a decline for no apparent reason,it's now ...

Sparrow, as long as your careful removing pup's has a very good success rate. The mother plant will however die a lot quicker the more you remove!.
My once 12ft high plant was a baby machine for many years!.

Bob, good advice from jim but lots of palm's have ariel root's that happily live above ground level...nothing to worry about.

sweaty!.

My large clump is planted in a natural spring but is still struggling to stay upright without extra watering in this heat...mine is in full sun..keeping in pots must be a nightmare in these conditions.

Don't worry grev..I know exactly who you are! how's gran canaria treating you?
