Really nice pics, Paul.

That's my friend and neighbor, Barbara, waiting in line in the first photo.  In photo #3, that's my bro Alan, looking very skeptical of MattyB.  Bob should have removed his sweatshirt for the photos, he always has the coolest shirts!

I would like to build a dome like that over my entire back yard so I could grow Cyrtostachys renda and Johannesteijsmannia altifrons too!

larry yer talking about post 6,yeah?

indeed it is "caryota-esque",but if you look closely you can see that it is armed,so it is could be a calamus or even plectomia spp.i noticed they had a lot of climbers

that were running up the large steel supports.

Yea thats the one. I know very little about palms but I recognised the 'leaflets' as being rather caryota-esque

I do my best. I'm good at trees, but we see a lot of those, not so many palms growing wild in England though  :;):

Paul,

Great shots.  Thank you.  Good to see you brought Bob along.  The one crummy thing about being on the Board for the PSSC is that it's always like this: BOD Meeting, General Meeting, and then home.  We never get to see the cool plants.  We're stuck in a room somewhere.
