Wow Brod, that Borassus flabellifer var 'orange' is a stunner! The park looks a lot greener than it was when I last saw it. I have a nice pandanus here that I grew from seed collected there. The mower had run over the top of them, but I got a few seeds and one germinated for me. It is getting large now and just about to trunk. If you've got time on Saturday I'll show you and Wal how it's growing. It has big hanging clusters of bright red seeds. I don't know what species it is though. I vaguely recall that they were all planted by Robert Tucker many years ago.

And what's with 4 photos per post? I thought we could only do 3?

Yes Daryl that Borassus looked even better in the flesh.

Wal and I will be down your place about 11-12 after we pick up a coffee table at Mermaid Beach.

I would be stocked to see the pandanus. I was thinking of starting a Palms and Pandanus society.. just kidding.

When you don't know you can't do something, you often do it. Hence the 4 photo post.

As always, outstanding pictures. The H. costata has such great 'shimmer' quality.

Wonder how it would do in Hilo?

I'd think they would do very well there, with warm temps and rain.

Daryl's place has goannas that would eat alligators for breakfast.

By the way Tim, Brod and I will be at Daryl's tomorrow for a quick look on our way to Newcal's garden. Might take a photo or two.

Happy Gardening

Hey Wal,

What the heck is a 'goanna'? Have pictures of those too? Got some different things going on 'Down Under'.

Some more pictures would be great, sounds like the climate is somewhat similar to Hilo although

the rain in east Hawaii might be more consistant. Just speaking outta my.......so forgive me.

BTW, thanks for all the photos and field adventures it's helping my education for what seems

an overwhelming variety of palms.

Cheers,

Tim

Hi Tim, thanks for the comments!  No alligators or Crocs here..LOL!

But as Wal said, I do have some serious Goannas. A goanna is a large monitor lizard.

Here is a photo of one in my garden. I walked right past it one day...it was at head level too!

This is a Lace Monitor or Lace Goanna. This one was about 3 1/2 feet long, but they get up to 6ft long.

Daryl,

Well ya learn something new everyday. Scary looking things, are they mean too? Do they have that

infectious saliva like the Komodo dragons which is the worst part of the bite? You've got some pretty

lethal critters down your way.

Wal, Daryl, you guys might have to buy Brod a premium membership at Photo Bucket. We could take up

a collection....he deserves it.

Brod, I was really looking forward to these pictures, especially since I share my last name with this park :)

I tried viewing them the other night but my internet kept going out, now I'm getting little boxes saying your bandwith was exceeded?  I really wanted to see the A tuckeri and N storckii pics too!

Jeff,

As always the photos were outstanding and were viewable just a few days ago. I'm sure Brod will re-post

because they are worth seeing.
