That was an epic weekend of palms to the point of overload. Never thought that was possible. I had a lot if fun and it was awesome to see all those different gardens in person.

Thanks everyone for making it possible. Jason those pictures turned out great. I didn't take many pictures myself because I just used my smart phone.

Gregg's garden was the first place I toured when I joined the PSSC and since then I have been hooked.

Thanks for posting this fantastic tour. It took me off & on all day to look at all the photos. Those CA boulders & palms make for some very beautiful gardens. Love that C. gigas (obtusa).

Fantastic Jason! I can remember the first time I went to each of those places.. GREAT PRA!

Also, THAT palm in the first pic of post #6 is a K. piersoniorum... just starting to show why I love them and their color!

And... :drool: your pic of the Jubeaopsis caffra at the Catamaran may be the best I've ever seen to capture the size and essence of that beauty.. I believe it is well over 70 years old. (not in that same location)

Bill - Thanks for the input on that Kentiopsis. Definitely a great looking palm!

Yes, that Jubeaopsis Caffra is monstrous! I had no idea it was that old, but I guess it makes sense with how large it is. Seeing that a few years ago is what made me decide not to plant one in my yard as I just don't have the space for it.

Also from Saturday; Thank you Ralph Velez and Larry Black for hosting the May 2012 PSSC meeting. What a weekend! I have some more photos that I will post soon. Perito

Here are a few photos from Ralph Velez's. First 2 of Zombia antillarium. I think this starts in his Greenhouse and emerges right through the roof. 3rd Photo is a Cocothrinax trunk, not sure what species.

Brahea edulis across the culdesac from Ralph's. Caryota infructescence- You can get an idea of the size by the cargo van parked next to the tree.

Jason,

Thanks so much for all your great photos. Amazing! What I think I came away with the most was, how different the gardens there compare to the gardens/landscapes here in south Florida. Here, it's more of a lush, greener look due to more rain and humidity and of course our dull, boring flat grounds. Where as there, you have nice slopes and hills and the large boulders. Really unique. I enjoyed the tour, it was great to see some of the interesting palm species that thrive out there.

Thanks for the tour of some fabulous gardens. What an overload. :drool: It's Nice to see some elevation & in Florida some of those boulders are probably worth more than the palms!

This is Gary's Jubaea grove. I'm not sure how many didn't fit into the frame.

Some folks take vacations where they sit by a pool and read all day. That suits me just fine-for maybe an hour or so especially after dark. I much prefer to stay busy and see as much as I can. I can tell you agree and had a great time! So different from where I live and that makes it all the more interesting! Thanks!
