A Frigid Day at Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden

[@illiachavez6369]

That Tahina is the most spectacular palm I think I've ever seen!!

[@nicolassaarni88]

Such a great collection but I still like the fruit and spice park in Redlands more. Also kampong gardens is a cool place to see it was David Fairchilds private estate and has many cool plants

I didn’t make it to the camp this time, but I did go to the fruit and spice Park on a freezing cold day and it was pretty fun

That purple black Mediterranean fan palm is crazy

[@Mrbfgray]

Cool vid. So to speak.

03:10 wow this one is insane! never seen a specimen like this before!!

[@nathanielalgernon975]

1:00 maybe Scarlet Glory Bower (Clerodendrum splendens)

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Happy late birthday! Those palms are incredible. Love the black Mediterranean Fan!

[@ScaryHairyGary]

Thanks! This cold weather keeps following me. Low 50s and constant rain in the Bay Area after suffering through Florida’s coldest weather in seven years. Off to Phoenix on Monday though for 80° plus!

@@ScaryHairyGary I'm hopefully escaping New York for Mexico on Monday!

If you think it was cold there, just be glad you weren't in NW Florida. From the National Weather Service -'Pensacola, FL, shattered its previous 2-day snowfall record with an incredible 8.9 inches of measured snow. This far surpassed the prior 2-day record of 3.0 inches of snow, set during the February Snowstorm of 1895. Pensacola, FL dropped to 13ºF on January 22nd, breaking its daily low temperature record.' New Orleans had 8-10 inches of snow, the entire northern Gulf of Mexico coast got hammered and set records.

I know. I was being a wimp by complaining

5:00 That's not a heart it's a Tesla logo. Close enough tho. 😉

[@allanrose2964]

Looks like clerodendrum thomsoniae perhaps? Never seen one that large but pretty sure that's it...

[@nathanielalgernon975]

A lot of excellent vids lately, but almost too much at one time, will take time to get caught up, your unknown evergreen might be in the Casuarina genus or its family, hard to tell.
