Mauricio, the pictures of the palms of this region, both habitat and the Inst. Plantarum (which I visited in 2010) are highly interesting and beautifully done, thank you. The Chelyocarpus chuco was especially interesting, as I just planted out two of them that have grown large in two-gal pots.

Thanks for sharing these photos of some of the dwarf Syagrus.  A year ago I visited Harri Lorenzi's PLANTARUM (Botanical Garden) in Nova Odessa, SP, Brasil.  The dwarf Syagrus microphylla is my favorite one.  Here is a pic I took of it there. The small seedling is one I grew from seed and is now planted in my garden.

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).

Nice sunsets!
