Samarakoon's nursery in Peradeniya

I found Samarakoon only last year, ( after 15 years coming to Sri Lanka and Kandy botanic garden) thanks to internet on which I was browsing "Loxococcus rupicola".

Samarakoon's place is close to Peradeniya botanic garden and became a second destination before or after visiting the botanic garden. It's nice to go there because you can go back home (to Doranakanda garden) with the van filled with babies.

you'll see Loxococcus rupicola and Areca guppyana and others...

Last time I went with seeds collected from 2 no ID palms, We'll have to wait before knowing! and of course my camera said "battery exhausted" before I could make a photo and show you these palms!
