Just got back from another epic adventure on the big island. It was just Steph and I this time and we had one of our best vacations ever. We went to several beaches we had never been to, ocean kayaked and even went deep sea fishing. Here is wifey at the Hilo airport.

If you look closely on the base of the crownshaft you can see an imature flower spathe. There is also a bulge in the crownshaft so it should'nt be to long. Well thats all for tonight. More later.

Wow. Succinct and to the point.

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

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!

Hey guys, Sorry It's taking me awhile to get these pics up but there is alot to do on the home front when you've been gone for 3 weeks.

Zeeth-Thanks brutha!

Bill-Yeah, she is moving and sits in a prominent spot right below my lanai. We enjoyed lots of Ahi and even caught a few.

BS man-Since I was posting at 2am. after getting up at 4am. and flying back from Hawaii succinct seemed the way to go. I'll try to use bigger sentences and even some bigger words like uh...succinct in my future post :mrlooney: .

Matt, More pics to follow.

Pogo-Dank fo sho :drool:

John-Not a new gate. Just new signage I painted.

Here are a couple more palm pics before I hit the rack. This Voaniola previously got weed wacked but is roaring back with It's first pinnate leaf. This one is even slow in Hawaii.
