Even though reports of rain loomed, it was a warm and sunny day for Quail Gardens and the Jungle Music spring sale.

At Jungle Music there was food, food and more food.

More, More Scott!!!   Great Pix!!!

In post 7, those were the "Sapphire Towers" or so the lady said. Some Aloe, and REALLY cool!

I must add, that was just a small sampling of Phil's staff.

Enjoyed the whole day!!!!   :D :D  

Thanks Phil, and Scott, Bob and Paul!!!

Hey, Scott, thanks for the pictorial!  (I had to miss it today, not having mastered the art of being in two places at once.)  The staff is looking rough and ready in red, at least one of them set for some heavy lifting. :;):   Your photos amply reflect your affection  for all things jungley, especially those vertical shots, wow.  Nice to see the boys in top form for the camera, as always.  So, Scott, what palms went home with you??

The Blue one is a Puya, a terrestrial Bromeliad from South America. The weird fruit is a Ficus dammaropsis.

Great shots.

Kim - We missed you today! I took home (all 5G) Parajubea, Dypsis Sp., and a Livistonia Decipiens. I actually owe MattyB, Bill, Paul, Bob a big thanks for helping me select the palms.

It was a real fun day. And seeing everybody and meeting new people was the best part :D

That ficus actually looks like Ficus auriculata AKA Roxburgh Fig.

Ok, Yeah, I goofed on the Ficus. But I knew the Puya. The other blue one is an Echium.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Bob- It was great meeting you to. Looking forward to the next palm outing. The drive home was actually very quick. I took the toll road which by-passed alot of the  :angry:

I'm hoping to plant the Livistonia this weekend and maybe the Parajubea. How exciting!!!  :D   They Dypsis Sp. - I don't know really what it's requirements are. Matt picked it as a Baronii, The tag says Species. So I don't know what kind of light to give it. Seems real delicate though. ???

Jeff - This all I took at Phil's. Wish I had taken more, but I took these because I figured others who couldn't make it would like to see some of the palm activities and palm folk. :D
