Love the sculpted soil around the palms in Bill's shots (#17). All very surreal, and incredibly tidy!

John- That was from the 3rd garden I went to that day. Dennis W. Like the other two, sadly not regular posters... :( However, Dennis son has posted here in the past..

I'll finish up my bit and I LOVE Kim's add in. Go ahead everyone, pile on!! (Don't forget to check where Vince posted in the original thread in Chapter news)

Dennis said he got this originally as Dypsis sahonofensis?

Dennis and Ralph Velez are throwing down the gauntlet on blasting a Chambeyronia lepidota out of the park...I think he said 6-8 years to get to this size? Ralphs is barely larger.

And lastly some unknown large Livistona that Dennis has. I noticed the leaf has MORE than a 360 degree turn around the hastula!!

post-27-12692127634695_thumb.jpg

Sadly, that's it for the pix...

BUT, my friends spousal units called for them, so Bill dropped me like a hot potato at Kim's place nearby for a delish BBQ and relax-a-thon until her brother Alan (avb) dropped me off on his way home.

Killer Day!!!!

Please add on as desired! Snark away like I know you will..

6-8 yrs? Ralph's has to be the victim of some serious root copetition. Dennis does give his palms some room. A welcome change compared to my garden. I'm coming to the relization I'm a little over planted after seeing Jim Wright's.

Well- I had great dreams of a pic in front of the Jubea's at Mission Bay, but when Matty said "how about a picture here instead"? I realised the turnout was not as likely to be as good... :( But I made the announcements best I could and Pogobob and Shon, avb and I'm sure some others missed getting in the group shot at the base of the Kentiopsis....

But thats OK, when had some other people wander into the shot that weren't Palmtalk folk too, so I guess it evened out...:P

Two versions..

This is gonna be hard, but I'll spot the folks I know in a general left to right fashion....kinda reminds me of the group Costa Rica shot.

PLEASE, if you are a Palmtalk member in this photo and I don't know it, point it out to me!!! I'll use folks "handles".

See Randy, I told you that you should have worn your John Daly golf pants.. people would have noticed more. I think Mr. King Ranch Hand stole the limelight with

the purple pants, (laker fan?) and Dave rocked the old school Converse.. Where was your fashion sense this weekend Inland Palms? It was a nice picture though.

I sure am glad Matty B stuck to the Girls Gone Wild theme and didn't go Full Monty! That might have gotten the moderator involved! Awesome gardens to both of the

tours! Sorry I was so late, I got stuck goofing off at Jungle Music when all I wanted to do was pick up that Joey for the auction!

The Hoopers have one of the premier gardens in So-Cal, which has been a Holy Grail destination for many a PRA. The Hoopers don't do the web thing, but there's no more solid PRA peeps than them.

Doubravsky and Steve in San Diego compare notes on the Pseudophoenix sargentii... This Pritchardia was outstanding with its huge, impeccable leaves

Same Prichardia with Dypsis leptocheilos rising behind it amidst a multitude of other palms.... water channels for added humidity and a pleasant sound
