Dominican Republic Biennial 2006

[Licuala]

Hello all,

I just want to remind everyone about the 2006 Biennial in the Dominican Republic coming up October 1-8.  The registration deadline is August 15.  I know lots of people procrastinate til the last minute, but the deadline will be here before you know it.  

All the information concerning the Biennial can be found at:  http://www.palms.org/2006/index.htm .  You can register online or by fax or even by snail mail.

Registration has been good and I would not be surprised to see us reach our limit of 200 attendees.  

Sooooo ................ as the used car salesman would say .............. Don't delay, register today!!!

Here is a recent photo taken by our host, Leonel Mera, of Pseudophoenix vinifera in the habitat we will be visiting.

And don't forget you will be able to take a helicopter to see Pseudophoenix ekmanii in habitat:

Leonel has also found a new habitat for Copernicia berteroana that we will be seeing.  Here is a photo that Leonel took:

One month from today registration closes!  If you plan on attending, register soon!  It will be a great time - lots of palms in habitat, palm nuts from around the world will be there, and excellent rum!  A chance to meet people and get your palm "fix" for the year!

If you have any questions about the biennial, email me privately at licuala@bellsouth.net

Looking at Paul's first photo in this thread, I'm ready to give you a common name candidate for Pseudophoenix ekmanii:

"long-necked-goose palm"

{Alert the media!}

Roberto,

After taking a "gander" at that photo again, you may have come up with the perfect common name!

It was quite the hike to get up close and personal with these rare palms. Growing on pure hard weathered limestone.
