Jeff Searle 1,045 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 I did not score very well, a mere 7 points. * In regards to question #9, you left out one other person. And he is Pete Balsky, who I went on my trips with. He's been there more times than anyone on the list other than John Dransfield. He is a member of the forum, but as yet to reply on anything(??).

Walter John 214 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 well, truthfully I only got about 2 or 3 right. I just wanted to say though that I think this is a brilliant idea with lots of reference material to work with no doubt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattyB 1,978 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 The sexiest dancer (in my opinion) is Jack elHoagie! My score is 10-1/2 #9: I think Phil has been #12: What about D. leptocheilos and D. lastelliana? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PALM MOD 481 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 I thought the "dancer" question was a gimme. Matty, you're right---D. lastelliana would definitely classify as a red crownshaft. D. leptocheilos is more orange IMO. And I'm pretty sure Phil has not been there, but I could be wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bgl 2,736 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 I guess I need to either pay more attention, or spend more time on the Forum.... I got 8 points, but that was only after D. lastelliana was considered an acceptable red crownshafted palm. I was going to post this photo as proof, well, I'll just post it anyway... Not red like a Cyrtostachys but still... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BS Man about Palms 2,311 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 I got 8 without trying on the "multiples"....not sure if I would have rated full points though (see that would involve writng them down so I didn't forget..) AND I don't drink, So I was clueless on the beer part... Not sure whether I should be proud or scared.... Like Wal said- Good job Dean! Paul, Load up the last page of Palmarum's Biennial tour and look for Jack Sayer............... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zac in NC 6 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 I got about 8 of them, including the one that I am included in. What does Kris say, when a palm dies, it truely lived??? Oh it conks off. I see. Zac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulgila 192 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 i remember phil telling me not to go there cuz it was unsafe for westerners,so i assumed that he HAD been there. i heard all about the "el hoagie" incident from mattyb in all its gruesome detail.

Neofolis 10 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 I got 6.8 (0.8 = 4 out of 5 of the Madagascar visitors). Sorry, I'll try to pay more attention. It makes me wonder how much of the "more important" stuff I'm not remembering. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbo 6 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 Jeff, I too find it difficult to communicate with JD but at least he does go to the IPS Bienniels, does great work for palms, has a genus name after him and if he is a bit shy and reserved that is perfectly par for the course for many Brits. NOT me as you well know! Just as well we are all different I reckon cos we all have a part to play in promoting and growing palms and thats what its all about I suppose.

Kathy 18 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 Only about half right. Clearly I need to spend more time here! It's winter now so I can do some remedial work.... And anyone who is part of an answer better be 90% or better! And Bo's lastelliana looks like she's ready for a night on the town! That's the true "lipstick palm" in my book -- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff Jeff, I caught that too. Bilbo was referring to your comment --- "He is a member of the forum, but as yet to reply on anything(??)." I knew you were referring to Pete Balsky, but Bilbo inferred you were speaking of JD. Bilbo apparently felt he had difficulty communicating with John at the Biennial.
