Back in May I ran a trip for the Palm Beach Palm and Cycad Society, and I’m just now getting to share the pictures.

We were presented with a wonderful welcome from the staff and a short video about Montgomery Botanical Center. Dr. M. Patrick Griffith, Executive Director personally presented to us and the walked thru the garden for the tour, they made us feel important and welcome. :D

very nice...thanks for sharing :D

The weight of lies will bring you down / And follow you to every town / Cause nothin happens here

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere

You didn't take(or share) any photos of some of the nicest stuff they have(I'm not a cycad guy)!!! Hemithrinax ekmaniana, Ravenea xerophila and possibly the best example of a Lodoicea, South Florida has to offer. :( Thanks for the photos; Patrick is an awesome person! :)

Maybe I can scrounge up some photos to share...
