A Few Shots From Herrero's Farm

[Kim]

The fun thing about Herrero's Farms was you never knew what you might see around the next corner. Wandering into the tall palms, I found these Pinanga coronata with infructescences in several different stages:

Everyone who saw these Areca vestiara fell in love:

How do you describe the feeling of awe when walking through a dense stand of veitchia?

Zingiber spectabile

Sweet cordyline leaves

More cordyline color

This Dichtyosperma album was very eye-catching:

I couldn't get over this Marojejeya altifrons (not sure I have the right name, but I still couldn't get over it!) Linda obliging me for scale:

Looking up the leaf:

[Kim]

Hey, how about that massive Coccothrinax?

View from below:

Ok, now I'm in love :

Please add your photos from Herrero farms! I figured out later I missed a whole section, so I know some of you had photo ops that I missed!

[Kim]

Oops, one more, Etlingera elatior with bee:

Here's another shot of the Coccocthrinax crinita with André for scale.

And, Kim, that would be Marojejya darianii BTW!

Great thread Kim. Here are a few of mine from the farms.

And two more of my favorites from the farm - I love the bromeliads.

Nice broms, Kathryn. Bo, thanks for adding the correct palm names and the photo. With Andre next to it, the true size becomes apparent!

One more image I meant to add -- still getting the hang of the new photo posting...

Don't know the palm for sure, maybe Acrocomia:

OK, here's a few of mine

I think this site of these palms was one of the highlights of the trip for me

I can not get enough of these regal alcantareas Julie for scale

Great shots by all. Did anyone notice how many Hummingbirds were flying around the Heliconias at Herrero's farm?
