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 engleri; Gaussia gomez-ponapae; Bismarkias; Archontophoenix; Roystoneas; Kerriodoxa elegans; Licuala ramsayi; Kentiopsis oliviformis regular and "Mealybug" and many many more over 120 species in all.

Do, come visit again!

What a day!  Thanks to @DoomsDave for a superlative garden tour. So many amazing palms, I’ll struggle to keep it brief, but here is a fraction of the highlights:

@DoomsDave mentioned in the introductory post many other remarkable species, grown to perfection, several of which I did not even believe would survive in this climate. Well done! Looking forward to a return visit.

Andy brevity is the soul of lingerie! Ramble on if you like! You made me appreciate a few things I took for granted. You have my permission to run wild!

Hi Dave!

I had very high expectations for your collection, but you exceeded them.  I was stunned with the variety and stature of your corner of paradise.

So many species we in the tropics just can’t grow. 

I am honored that you invited us and please know you are welcome to visit my much younger jungle in PR anytime. 

Your cat (assistant tour guide) was pretty great too.

As to the timing of part two of my adventures, I leave this very evening for the 15 hour flight to Sydney.
