ravished and gone mostly..

Wow Kyle!! thank you very much... always loved those photos of palms from their habitat...!!! Actually, you inspired me to make the same in colombia next time I will travel there (hopefully soon)... My wife is colombian, was grown in Medellin(antioquia) but her family is from Santander. I was a few days looking on the net for some rare cycads and I found Santander rainforests are the habitat of lots of rare cycads (cycas encephalartoides for example) and palms that people does not see usually (or even know about))... Actually they have explored 25% of the land at best) Also, looks like palms and cycads from there are from high elevation (same for antioquia dept (medellin) where our finca/land is located)... Sometimes I have travel across some forest there and found rare geonoma like palms growing in the wild (less than 10C is an usual temp there at night so maybe some of them could have some cold hardiness), Santander is G.Interrupta original habitat but they were not... Sadly, going alone is not an easy option there but I will try to make it one day or another...)
