Of course, Mark! That would be great! I think that Jeff lives a few miles from his nursery. I'm probably a wee bit LESS than 2 miles even!

Jeff doesn't live right next door to his nursery, but he's relatively nearby.

Go see the garden and the nursery if you can.

Matt and Paul,

It's great to hear that you're having a good time in Florida, but we're already up to post #32 with my response here, and there's not a single palm photo in this entire thread! This is DISCUSSING PALM TREES!

Tip: start discussing palms or post some nice palm photos by Thursday morning or this thread will be moved to the Ohana Nui! :)

Nice boat Redant. I looks like a Jupiter 31. I have an old Thunderboat Row cargo ship (Go Fast Open Fish) that we take to the Bahamas and Keys almost every year.

Matt/Paul, welcome to South Florida. I wish I didn't have to travel out of town on Saturday and could join the PRA at Fairchild. Hopefully when you go to Fairchild Gardens you'll see my most favorite palm in the Copernicia genus.

Or while on their South Florida PRA, take a gander at my Nephrosperma vanhoutteanum and Ravanea xerophila. This should be palmy enough to keep the thread going until the guys can start posting their own pictures!
