HIPS meeting 10 Dec 2006

Hawaii Island Palm Society had a garden tour today at UHH (University of Hawaii Hilo). Dr. Don Hemmes, who retired earlier this year after 34 years at UHH, was our guide, and when it comes to cycad and palm expertise Don is a real pro. Don has been the driving force at UHH, planting all sorts of exotic cycads and palms, and today's garden tour included both. At first I was thinking of putting the cycad photos in the "Non palm section" of the Forum, but at second thought that seemed silly. This was an "integrated" tour that included both, so I'm going to sneak in some cycad photos here. We started out in the cycad garden, but Don had planted a bunch of Syagrus amara for …

Back from Oz....and the dead 1 2

What a long month and a half it's been. Colin, I apologize for not contacting you in Oz. Shortly after tying the knot on October 28th, I got a very, very bad cold/fever. I somehow managed to pull through while on my trip down under but not without every cold remedy imaginable. When I got back to the states, I developed a horrible cough which turned out to be bronchitis. I spent two days in a local hospital with an incessant cough. It's only in the last couple of weeks that I managed to recover and get my strength back. I did my best not to let it ruin the trip but didn't want to spread my germs. Anyway, here are some photos: Calamus in the rainforest

Palm photos
by mike in kurtistown- 5 replies
- 1.4k views
I have made Webshots files for two groups of photos: (1) pictures taken during the Biennial in Santo Domingo; and (2) pictures taken during the October 2006 Amazon field trip. They can be viewed at: http://community.webshots.com/user/mmerritt113 While I do have pictures of trip happenings and human interest, most pictures are of the palms. No reflection on recent postings (from which I downloaded) is intended, just wanted to indicate what's in the files. Also, I include photos of less than stellar quality when they convey useful information not available in any other photo. Good viewing!

Some palms and other scenes on the Road
by amazondk- 30 replies
- 2.2k views
I drove over to Itacoatiara, 260 kms by road down the Amazon River for a meeting today. On the way I took a few shots of palms and other sites along the road. I hope you enjoy a little look around Amazonas again. Cocos nucifera plantation. Manaus is a large consumer of coconuts and more and more are being planted along the road. There is a Astrocaryum vulgare in the forground. The day was hot as normal this time of year. I had lunch on a restaurant on the Amazon River. At this point the river is around 100 meters in many places and ocean going vessels sail with no trouble. This is the low water season as you can tell by the visible channel. This is th…

Las Palmas de Puerto Vallarta

In May my wife and I went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to relax. We stayed at a lovely hotel in the Marina and didn't do any sightseeing, the purpose of our trip being to recover from a strenuous January through April. The hotel was landscaped with a nice assortment of non-native palms and on my daily walks around the Marina I noticed many other palm species planted around the other hotels and apartment buildings. The first several groups of photos were taken at our hotel. Can you identify these palms? Photo #1 Photo #2 Photo #3

The next stop was Bandung, in western Java for my sister-in-laws wedding. Needless to say, not a lot of time for palm hunting in the two days I was there. Again, very few attempts at identification will be made. Identifications welcome! Hotel Gucci. Gucci is one Indonesian word for pot, and they lived up to the name with potted palms everywhere. This was a modest hotel. Nice branching palm (dypsis?) Probably the healthiest Dypsis decaryi I saw my entire trip (not at the hotel). All the decaryi's I saw had this black mold

Today our palm and cycad society chapter visited the former garden of John and Jean Price. John still had the original palm planting plan which was used to help ID some species. There has been little upkeep and therefore things looked a little shabby. Here are some photos. Studying the plan Nice tall Normanbya normanbyi (Black Palm) Green Bismarckia and a Thrinax sp, alongside Copernicia hospita

Historic Bok Sanctuary

In my thread about Gaylord Palms, Dave-Vero mentioned the Florida coonties (Zamia integrifolia) at the entrance to the visitor center of the Historic Bok Sanctuary. When I attended last Saturday's meeting of the Central Florida Palm and Cycad Society I took a few photos around the visitor center. Although Sabal palmetto is a very common palm to you Floridians, it's not seen very often here in Southern California. I think they are much more attractive than our skinny, shaggy, spiny Washingtonia robusta. Here's a lovely grouping of palmettos. Around the palmettos is a mass planting of coonties and to the right side there are awesome silver Serenoa repens. He…
