Hallo Hallo!!!

Glad you are with us! Enjoy. Great palm collection by the way.

Hi Dean!

thank you very much - in Austria we say: "Wow you call in the wood, so it will come back" - I think, the translation means the same: "What goes around, comes around".

Sorry, yesterday I was too impatient with my registration here - therefore I sent ypu the emails

I will visit soon this new page! - our post is now lost???????????????????

Hi Axel - nice to meet you,

your Phoenicophorium borsigianum are dead - sorry; those, which I send to Sandra, too.

Hi Palmy!

Welcome in Europe - and have a good time here. Your german is very good - and it will be perfect when you have finished your study. I hope it is not too cold for yourself in Thübingen

Yes Moni,

My last post is missing for some reason. So I will try and recreate what I said earlier.

I was mentioning how I periodically get comments from new members who think they are being ignored, and that there is too much interaction between the "regulars" while leaving out the newcomers. This topic is a perfect example of how friendly and receptive the members are here depending on how the newbies introduce themselves. You seem to have figured that out already.

I was also mentioning the new online palm magazine I just published minutes ago that includes an article from one of your neighbors in Switzerland, and how you could both probably learn a few things from each other about growing palms in less than optimum conditions. PALM MAG ONLINE

Welcome to PalmTalk.

Thank you, Dave!

Gileno asked for more photos from my garden and the surroundings -- OK

What a beautiful place you live in! Love the photos.

Hi Meg!

Thank you - thats life - I would prefer to live in warm regions :lol:

Hi again Moni!

Thanks for the photos! Austria is a beautiful country - summer or winter! In case you have more photos from Salzburg and surroundings, feel free to start a new thread in the Travel Logs section. I am sure lots of Forum members would appreciate that - I know I would!

The Hills Are Alive

Hi and thank you, Mike!

@ Bo-Göran - thank you too, I am very happy that you an die other members here are so interested; I will start an new thread in "Tavel Logs"

Hi Moni and welcome to PalmTalk!

Your plant collection is amazing and I really like your photo of lake St. Wolfgang. It looks like something out of a fairy tale. Thanks for the photos!

Thank you, Jeff!

I think, on sunday I will continue with the new thread - my husband will go for one week to East-Austria - and then I have time enough :lol:

Hello!

Thank you, Ed

Thank you Verena for good

@John: I had 3 Lipstick-seedlings (the first leave) Cyrtostachys renda since the end of April 2009 - one has died - one looks one ist still OK (3 (now 2) are at Sandra/Santarello)

The seeds are still sleeping

@Mark - thank you too.What you "say" feels good

@palmfrog - fine, that my system may be help you in the future.

For organizing my plants I use this too: http://www.exotencenter.de/ -- sorry, it is in German language - perhaps you find something similar in english???? It is very helfpul for me!

Salzburg is not tropical --- it is rainy and cold - if you live here - I think, you would not like to live here for more than a few weeks

Oh Wow -- a freeware plant database organizer??? I will definitely give that a look!! Thanks!

I really enjoyed the pictures of Salzubrg as well. I would have loved to spend more time there. It was rainy when we were there. I went with the WSU concert choir and we were only there for about a day I think.

Yes, it a a very fine organizer - some "exotic" - freaks helped together - I too ) - and the result is OK; I like it - and cannot imagine, how to "live" without it

Salzburg without rain is not Salzburg :blink: - if you stayed here for more days, you have more rain :lol:

But is nice, I like it, although - and I am used

Hi Moni,

I Just now noticed your introduction posting (after I spoke with you about the tree climbing cactus on my post).

A warm welcome to the Palmtalk forum from me. Yes, you are crazy! I can say that as I, too, am crazy about palms and tropicals. My wife tells me that, too. Of course, she likes palms too, but likes flowering plants the best.

I have to hand it (admire) to you, to be growing so many palms and plants in your climate. That is a true indicator of your love for them.

Again, welcome aboard.

Walt

Moni, Moni............they named a song after you didn't they?............anyway, impressive collection and beautiful area you live in.....would love to be able to snow ski all winter. Welcome to the board.

Hi Walt,

thank you for your warm welcome; my husband is not cracy with plants, but he tolerates my hobby and helpes me, carrying the bis pots twise the year - and he finances my activities

Hi Dave!

Thank you, too - I only know the song "Moni Moni Moni" from Spyder Murphy Gang - but this is a German/Bavarian group - and I am not shure, that ist is, what you mentioned

Hello at all!

we live in a small village near Salzburg/Austria - USDA 5b - unfortunatelly very cold, much snow in winter and not sooo warm in summer - and much rain inbetween

My hobby and passion is to collect palmtrees and other exotic plants - though here in Salzburg it is not possible to let them grow outdoor during winter - I thinkI have about 500 pots (litte and bigger one)

Welcome to the PalmTalk forum Moni - and your climate sounds very similar to where I live in the UK! Maybe not as much snow and definately your scenery is thousand times better Also congratulations on your collection, its AMAZING and a great example of what can be done if you dedicate yourself to our palm friends.

Hallo Moni,

welcome on bord! ich bin total geplättet von den Fotos. Respekt! I think everyone knwos what the last word means even though it's in german...

Herzliche Grüße aus dem badischen Rastatt

Hello Mr. T and Janni!

Thank you - I now think, it is not only hard in winter to take care of the plants - in "summer" it is not easy, too:

Here it is raining since one week and we have 9°C (day an night) - and there is no end to see in the weather-links --- I hope the plants will overcome

Hallo Moni,

herzlich willkommen zu 'Palmtalk'.

Es ist fantastisch zu sehen, dass Europaer, insbesondere Nordeuropaer ein

starkes Interesse an Palmen zeigen.

Die Arbeit und Aufwendung, die Du in Deine Palmenzucht investierst, ist

absolut bemerkenswert. Gratuliere!

'Wal' (Walter) von Brisbane, Australien

Hi Wal(ter)

thank you for your warm welcome! I love ma plants

Wow! Wunderbar! I'm really impressed Wal(ter) that you... sprichst so gut Deutsch!

....Sorry Moni, das musste ich loswerden.

Hi Moni,

I'm aboard also - thanks to your assistance.

Read you from time to time.

Harry

Hi Harry!

Welcome once more - and I hope, you will find here an answer

Great Area, specially in summer with nice sunshine trough the green mountains. To bad it's to cold for me in winter, even the place where I live know find it to cold for me during winter.

Last year I was in Basel for support The Netherlands, I always like it the drive trought the mountains, because I don't see that over here The highest "mountain" we have issss maybe 10 meters high?
