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!

Nice going, Goober. I knew it was only a matter of time. BTW, who's the dude in the tights? A relative? Kind of looks like a real young Dean back in his day. :lol:

Oh no, don't mention the twins Bubba! That info is for PM's only along with Dick's stories.

So far the Cali peeps have been nothing but charming and I look forward to the next visit from any palm nuts.

Someone asked a very interesting question about the exact DNA status of BS's Triplet Ranch Hands that was never appropriately answered. In your explanation of this perplexing issue posed by the triplets, I only ask that you shelter your eyes from Post 329.

Don't deny it MattyB. I was sure you were 'on' something. Salmonella? Shigella? E. coli?

I've had to apply some selective surgery to a post or two, and need to remind you folks (as it is being suggested to me), that this is The International Palm Society Forum. I haven't found much in the way of the scientific and educational advancement of palms in the last page and a half.

Thanks to those of you who help make this a fun and friendly forum.

Yes Mr. Mod you are correct.

In keeping with the IPS theme I can't wait for more members to travel to South Florida to see what's goin on down here. The SFPS members are always excited to entertain members from around the world even if it means swimming, eating and sleeping with palms. We do it all here.

BTW pix take up lots of space so if page 10 is in the works we will need more.

Got any blurry ones M or P?

Like this?

Ahh ha. I knew there were more pictures. There are always more pictures, just not the ones you want people to see.

Doesn't matter so much down in Miami, but recent winters have bee mild; very good for palms.  Of course we're seeing low air fares to Puerto Rico for August and JetBlue might offer low fares to Cuban cities other than Havana in September.
