Over the weekend on our plant excursion, we came across a large clump of Pandanus???. Not sure what the species is, but as you can see in the pictures this has large barbs running down the sides of the leaves, and also down the middle of the underside of the leaves. It was like a fortress. Trying to get into the clump to snip off a few pieces. I still have holes in my arms. Here are a few pictures. Arron is in a few shots showing how large this Pandanus clump was. When it was all said and done we left with 7 clipping from this clump and you could not even tell we took anything off of the clump.
Well being born in a paradise like I was here in South Florida I have always taken all of my tropical plants and palms around me for granted. Just recently realizing how lucky I am. I'm going to take full advantage of this tropical climate. This blog is going to show all of my trials and tribulations with growing different species of plants and trees. Feel free to check back regularly and watch my plants grow.

Well, yeah, it's a Pandanus. I don't know as far as a species, but I think veitchii is a good bet, just because it's one of the more common Pandanus in cultivation. As far as I know.
