That's a negatory for me. All my shirts are ruined with permanent stains due to over wear in the garden.

Yeww!

This should be good. Been looking forward to the trip for awhile.

I haven't been to the gardens for years now! Maybe I'll see you guys there tomorrow.

Hi Ari, we all had a good day. The crowd was down on previous years, but still pretty good. The boys all picked up a few specials too...

Here is Wal, trying to focus on the computer screen...had to get his Palmtalk fix whilst at the show!

Here is a shot of the display area...

Took home a very small booty this year, stuck to my $50 limit.

Archontophoenix purpurea

Normanbya normanbyi

Pritchardia thurstoni (seedling)

and unbelievably I bought two Veitchia seedlings that grew from seeds from my own palms in the old place, and I had to pay for them, winnin and joannis younguns have returned to their daddy, now there's a story if I can grow these to maturity.

oh that photo is not me by the way, that's not my skin colour, besides I was wearing a hat.
