Incredible variety Gileno  

Is summer your dry season?

[Gileno Machado 200]

Ooops...

The clumping palms in post # 122 are actually Bactris maraja and not Pinanga coronata, sorry.

Liana has e-mailed me also and told me that the Phoenix described as rupicola is actually reclinata, she thinks.

Thanks for the Siphokentia pictures Mikey...I`m crazy about the new seedling I received from Liana.

Happ: Yes it gets much drier here in summer and I guess that in eastern Sergipe too. The whole coastal region of Northeast Brazil gets a lot of rain concentrated around mid year, as we`ve been part of the Atlantic forest in the past.

These are the final pictures I took at their garden:
