I have spring all year cos its an equatorial climate here. Do gardening anytime of the year. I have an unusual palm that looks very much like the self destructing palm discovered in Madagascar last year. Blooms once in 40 years, then dies. It was named Tahina spectabilis, not sure if its the same. Can your gardening skills help, pix in my post.
