PalmScapes: The Jade Empress Palm

As I Wander...

Welcome!

Living in tropical Malaysia, we tend to take the hot humid weather, thundery rainstorms and the spectrum of wild evergreen plants as a given.

Recently, I noticed more exotic plants making its way into landscaped home gardens, recreational parks, frontages of shopping malls and

commercial buildings.

Along kerb sides of residential streets and busy motorways, palms, trees and flowering plants make pleasant and interesting fringes.

This is a record of the various species "as I see it" for I am in awe of palms. Hence, my premise for this blog is that the global garden,

i.e. every physical garden (tended or untended), becomes a part of my, simply said, cyber palm garden. ;-)

Please feel free to share your thoughts or comments.

Thank you for visiting!

The Jade Empress Palm

Botanical Name : Rhapis multifida

Also known as the Finger Palm, this very luxuriant, healthy clump found @ The Secret Garden, I believe, would be every gardener's delight.

Prior post The Jade Empress Palm refers.

So far, my blog role has allowed me to venture out, appreciate + enjoy everybody else's well tended garden (without expending any elbow grease!). Today, is no different but I had company.

This special pic is for Annie (Hello sis!), a supportive fan of this blog, since its inception, who took time out to accompany me on one of my palm-sighting mission @ The Rainforest. To blog soon...
