Yes this is a plug but some of the coolest palms available from the nurseries of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens and Montgomery Botanical Center will be offered! These palms are rarely offered to the public!

Too bad I'm going to be in freezin' Ohio!

Land O Lakes FL, a suburb on the North Side of Tampa, FL

Summers are great, 90f/32c in the day & 70f/21c at night with plentiful rain & sun

Winters are subtropical with occasional frosts and freezes. Tropical cyclones happen.

We have a few Royal palms in the warm microclimates but Coconuts freeze.

I am a Kayaker, Hiker, Bicyclist, and amateur Photographer that loves the outdoors.

Any species that you know of? It might be worth to name a few goodies to entice others to come. If you know.

Hey Mr. Jeff, why don't you leave work early and stop by the Moose Land since you'll be heading this way. Its been over two years since your last visit. Don't fret about work, I know the owner and he is pretty reasonable. I can put in a good word so he'll let you off early, that way we would have a couple of hours of daylight here. :blush2:

I am not sure what is being donated. We will have to wait and see! Some of it will be in our new "Buy it Now" section so come early if you want to be sure to get one.

See you all tomorrow!

P.S. 12 Pounds of shrimp will be there!

Ken - what is your expected arrival time? Like to put our trucks butt to butt and slide Keith's palms into your'ins. Do it early so I can make an early exit. The auction just goes on and on with all those palms.

I got a mananjarensis, collected from habitat, as a soon-to-be birthday present to my Dad--I would say that qualifies/vouches for the title of this thread...
