What a "Treasure Trove" Jerry and Cindy , would love to see this "stunning colourful garden",thanks for the inspiration. great pics Bill, thanks. Pete

Thanks for getting things started Bill. It was a great day with close to 80 members and guests showing up. One of our largest crowds for a garden tour. They were treated to pupu's provided by the Society, a raffle with palms and Thailand goodies from the biennial, and of course an incredible garden tour. There were a couple of heavy downpours just before the event, but never rained again for the rest of the day. Here are a few more photos.

Part of the crowd prior to the tour, yours truly working the microphone, Jerry and Cindy Anderson, a group of Ravenea's and some ti's.

Lots of aroids, cycads, anthurium, and ferns. The last two shots are Bentinckia condapanna.

[realarch]

Anthurium, I think these were Beccariophoenix alfredii, Dypsis pilulifera, not sure on the last one.

[realarch]

On the trail, lots of room to maneuver. The last one is Neoveitchia storckii.

[realarch]

Dypsis bejofo, D. saintelucei, D. laffazamonga or something like that, and Carpoxylon.

[realarch]

A stunning Lodoicea, just perfect. Beautiful anthurium with a nice water feature. On the trail for the last two.

[realarch]

More anthurium, some stunning Marojejya darianii, that's not a pig, that's a dog and a quiet moment on the trail.

[realarch]

Other worldly anthurium infructescence, stopping to discuss a group of palms, some Clinostigma and I'm not sure about the one with the white crown shaft in the middle, and

the last is Neoveitchia storckii.

[realarch]

Another D. pilulifera, a beautiful Beccariophoenix madagascariensis 'windows', Carpoxylon, and some nice Dypsis, not sure which.

[realarch]

Another shot of that monster Lemurophoenix and a beefy Mauritia flexuosa which was just one of five.

We saw just a small part of the garden as some paths were on the slippery side and not good for a crowd of 80 people, There are so many layers from top to bottom

that one could spend hours trying to see everything. Our garden tours usually have so many people that we've been struggling to find a good solution to give information

and answer questions as we're on the trail. This time we had 'guides' with fluorescent vests stationed throughout the long line and who were somewhat familiar to the garden

to answer questions and to point out the palms. Seemed to work fairly well and we also stationed the amplifier in the middle of the line so most people could hear the

tour leader with the microphone at the front of the line.

I know Ive posted already but just have to again...Tim, your added pics of these "Outstanding Gardens " are a "Blast". Pete

[Rafael]

Hello Jerry and Cindy, you have such a wonderfull collection. It is breathtaking...

[Walter John]

It was wonderful meeting Jerry and Cindy in Thailand, I too wished I could be there live for the garden tour. Maybe, just maybe, one day.

[Cindy Adair]

Sounds wonderful to have about 80 attendees and I can see why! Stunningly beautiful garden! Thanks for all the great photos.

[JakeK]

Awesome garden and great inspiration for our garden in Ecuador.

[BS Man about Palms]

Great Seizures Ghost! Thats a beautiful place.... Thanks to all involved Jerry & Cindy , Bill, Tim.. great reporting.

[Kim]

Bill and Tim, thanks for posting your photos of this exuberant garden. Jerry and Cindy have put a lot of love and sweat into this exquisite showpiece, and it's a real marvel to walk through. They really have the creative eye for combining plant elements. Love those colorful Bentinckia condapanna!!

It's fun to see so many familiar faces in the photos, too! Wish I could have been there, but the photos are a wonderful representation of the event. Thanks again.

[CardiffPalmNut]

Amazing!

[Dr. George]

This is an incredible garden. Cindy and Jerry also have a very comfortable vacation rental right in the middle of the garden that Lynn and I have enjoyed using. Metroxylon and giant Kerriodoxa right next to the front porch. At the risk of sounding like a commercial, let me just suggest that anyone traveling to the Hilo area should check it out. - gmp

Bill and Tim, great photos from a great garden! And Jerry and Cindy, sorry I missed it, and you obviously had a great turnout!

[Hilo Jason]

Wow!! Amazing!!

[Jeff Searle]

Bill and Tim.....thanks for sharing your great pictures. And what a turn out! Jerry and Cindy, you have a beautiful garden, I can only imagine how much nicer (and bigger) things look now since my last visit there. I hope this garden and collection can be saved for future generations to come.

[KPL]

Thank you Bill and Tim for such outstanding photos of this exquisite garden.

Kudos to Jerry and Cindy for such a breathtaking showplace to visit, and I do mean breathtaking! It's one you should not miss when here in Hawaii!

The guides with fluorescent vest and the amplifier in the middle of the line was a great idea.

Thanks everybody, such a pleasure to be able to share Jerry and Cindy's garden with the board. Wish I'd had taken more photos, but I was too busy doing other things. There will other opportunities though.

[jdapalms]

Cindy and I had a great time and we want to thank everyone for their nice comments and a special thanks to Tim and Bill for their great photos. Tim and the HIPS team did a wonderful job on a very well organized meeting. I think that everyone in attendance had a wonderful time. I added a few pictures that I was able to take although not near as good as Tim and Bill's photos great job!

[KONADANTOM]

nice photos! it was a great afternoon - the tropical rain showers stopped just as the tour began - we saw lots of magnificent palms, enjoyed large quantities of tasty food and schmoozed with other fun palm people - Mahalo to Cindy & Jerry for hosting, and to our many Hawaii Island Palm Society volunteers for a well-run event
