Lucky Hawaiian Island Palm Society gets to see rare and beautiful palms without braving leeches or snakes. April 8, 2016 at UH Hilo rm UCB #100 at 7:00pm Even luckier folks get to take home some of these species if they are clever enough to win them as prizes during the lecture, so pay attention. A consolation prize for online palm enthusiasts is that a link to the lecture will be posted on Jeff's Floribunda website and Palmpedia shortly after the event.

While southern Florida's climate allows us to grow tropical flora that hobbyists in most of the rest of the country can enjoy only through photos, our many seaports make it fairly easy for plant diseases to enter the state.
