Sorry no loot photos guys !.Chalermchart ...those Dypsis minuta i;m not sure how old they were but Clayton had some in150 mm pots and they were 18 years old ( 6 inches in height ) if that helps! Kris the gardens get better with every passing year...You;ll have to visit if ever you;re over here!!.Sadly Wal these are the onlyGood pics i ( Daryl ) could post on account of the wet weather that day!

Mikey,i did take a pic of Licuala radula seeds but somehow the shot did'nt turn out !. I'll blame the camera this time.Are you coming down for the show this year at Brisbane?....Gileno, you'll have to ask Clayton about those answers you seek about the watering/fertilizer secrets....cheers Mike Green.
