With only 2 min to respond I can tell you that if palm talk went away, so would my yearly IPS renewal. I don't care to get a paper in the mail every few months talking about directors. That's what the IPS gives me. I would rather put my yearly money into Palmtalk because it gives me a daily feeding of all the knowledge I can handle, plus the friendships are invaluable, especially since 99% of them are from other places. Really bad move for the IPS, Palmtalk is the glue that holds the palm community together and is a need for our younger generation of palm people.

The main reason I joined the IPS was Palm Talk. Just guessing but I'd say 50% or more of new members come directly from palmtalk. Jeff

PalmTalk is the IPS, like it or not.

- 10:04AM - Certain orders needed more than a small cart to get out of the shadehouse. Working like a well oiled machine, Andrea and Jim lift a 10 gal. Dypsis heteromorpha onto a waiting trailer. - It was soon joined by a 10 gal. Clinostigma samoense. They were pushed to the corner of the trailer as there was a lot more coming to join them. - A minute or two later, Andrea came back with a loaded cart being pushed by volunteer Tim O'Donnel. - She had her hand on a Caryota obtusa, Thai Mountain Giant, and was keeping it steady as it passed under the low opening of the shadehouse entrance. On the right of that palm was a Deckenia nobilis in a 7 gal. pot and in behind was a bushy 7 gal. Calyptrocalyx sp. 'Boalak', among other items. Ryan

- One customers ongoing stash included a 3 gal. Areca vestiaria var. 'Maroon Leaf' (left), 3 gal. Mauritiella armata (silver color), 3 gal. Iriartea deltoidea (wide leaflet), and a 3 gal. Kentiopsis magnifica (right side). Some others were in there as well, but I could not make them out. - One last minute addition was this grouping of Dwarf Betel Nut Palms, Areca catechu var. 'Dwarf'. It was a chance to try and surprise customers who may not have expected them, and it worked. - The two larger 15 gal. plants were sold by this point, but it was negotiated to delay their removal to try and sell the 7 gal. specimen, and it worked. - 10:00AM - The holding area during one of the low capacity moments as the morning started to turn into the afternoon.

I am not sure if Orania arvensis is a synonym , maybe some Palmtalk member will identify this palm and tell if it's O. ravaka? in Peradeniya in august 2012: Same palm in december 2012:

Even google can't find any information about it. I think it is probably mislabeled. Regards, Milos
