La Habra PRA with Cindy and Andy Sept. 22, 2024

Yesterday, @Cindy Adair and @ASHCVS stopped for a visit and a palm tour and you had best believe that a fine old time was had by all! I was so agog I forgot to take pictures, but not a minute was wasted showing them everything, including: Rhopie baueri cheesmanii and purple crownshaft; Aiphaine horridus, Pritchardia remota, "lanaiensis," "Big Monster" martii and minor; Actinokentia divaricata with seeds; Dypsis (Chrysalidocarpus) baronii, plumosa, onilahensis "Droopy", albofariniosa; Arenga
