Ray,

     Was this the garden get- together for the central chapter? The garden has some really interesting palms(AND BIG) growing there. How big is the garden? How many people attended the tour?

It was good seeing you today! Thanks for posting the photos so quickly. I really had a lot of fun today at both the public and private gardens!

[Kathryn]

Great job posting and so quick too! I saw that theophrasti in 2002 and had to have one so ordered seeds as soon as I got home. Here it is in February 2002.

Very nice pictures Ray!  Kopsick is one of my favorite places in the Tampa Bay area.  When I worked in downtown St Petersburg, I would go over to Kopsick and sit on a bench, have lunch, and look out over the palms and the bay.  You can't beat the waterfront location.

[Walter John]

Terrific place there Ray, thanks for the pics. It has become apparent that the best palm photos are now appearing in this the travel section.

[TikiRick]

Wow! How beautiful....that collection has really matured nicely. What a great location for a palm collection.

Kopsic Arboretum was nice.  All the folks involved with CFPACS were great and the gathering afterwards was fun.

Also, thanks for the beer (and the food too)!

I drove down with Kyle (kylecawazafla).

Here is a Copernicia that wasn't labeled.

C. ekmanii or fallaensis?

Unlabled Coccothrinax.

I think Kyle identified it as scoparia or montana?

Also, most of the trees were labled!

Some folks playing tennis asked us if we worked for the city.  Probably to complain about all of the ratty palms blocking there view of the bay.

"I didn't move here to look at trees!"

Copernicia (baileyana I think) and Syagrus botryophora in the newer area.
