   The September meeting of the Palm Society of Southern California is going to be on Saturday September 16 at the amazing garden of Ralph Velez in Westminster. For those who don't know Ralph, he has over 400 species growing, and quite a few of the palms are ~40 years old. We'll also be touring a local park where Ralph has been able to create a palm island for the public. As always, there will be an auction at the meeting. There's usually a lot of rare palms at these auctions, and usually some great deals. More details are on the PSSC webpage
