I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Any shots of Cuban palms are always appreciated. Will you have any Gaussia princeps for sale? Any shots of Coccothrinax borhidiana?

Also, what is the cost of those Imperialis bromeliads?

Look forward to seeing you Saturday and thanks for the shots.

Good luck with the sale guys. I am sorry that I am unable to attend. My wife had a lumbar laminectomy so I have to stay close to home for at least a couple more weeks. By the time I get to SoFla things will be well picked over :angry: Ryan, thanks as usual for the fab photos and I am looking forward to your usual comprehensive report of the event.

Mike - a little understated. :huh: You attacked that croton area with extreme fervor from what I heard. :lol: All the difficult to find cultivars were gone by 8:40 am. :rant::violin: Jeff had to reload the croton area twice today. Still some nice cultivars available but not the collectibles.

I left Orlando at 6 A:M and arrived at the sale around 9:45. I fought my way through the crowd, back to the shadehouse to claim a large Cyrtostachys glauca and a 1 gallon Dransfieldia. Got just what I came for!

I would like to thank everyone that came out over the last three days. It was great talking with some of you, and meeting some of you for the first time. This was one of my largest selections of palms and different sizes of palms available ever. We sold more orchids than ever before and the number one group of plants besides the palms that the collectors rushed in for was the crotons on friday morning. For those of you that were witness to the stampede, you know what I'm talking about. Overall, besides selling some plants, it was just great talking and sharing stories with many of you. Ryan did another great job with his camera and will soon be putting up many photographs of the sale.

Thanks again,

Jeff

I would have to say that more so than the incredible diversity that you have for sale is the customer service you guys provide. I know all of us have asked questions or needed help at nurseries just to find out we know more about the plants than they do. If more people would provide the customer care that you do our economy would not be in the crapper.
