 Today I went to Floribunda Palms to pick up my order.  A little sad that Jeff was sick so no palm tour from him he did drag himself out of bed and show up as I was loading my new palms in the truck.  I did get a quick walk-through with one of his workers to see the garden.  It’s been along time since I’ve been there never enough time on my vacations to do anything.  Well I took a few photos that I can share.

     Not available yet but hopefully they will start producing seed soon.  Only reason I know that is because I asked if there were any available.

     I was thinking of a number in the photos so people could identify the ones in it and make a list because I have no clue only two of them I can identify lol.

       And some of the photos there are so many palms each photo would probably need a list of which palms are in it.

     I do know I want them all :D
