Leonel Mera and I, in 1999, collecting Coccothrinax ekmanii in the Dominican Republic. I climbed the palm, but it started to lean when I was up. It was quite scary, but I decided to go up to the top, so the palm would bend more and more until I could gently land to the ground, hanging from the top of the palm. Leonel is holding the leaf, I was still upset after this little adventure.

My first palm. Before and after

Some thirty years ago. It's me with my mamma. My grandfather planted it around 1972, then I germinated in 1974.

About thirty years later, a recent picture.

This is a live pic of my Yellow latania under attack from the big red latania. So I thought what the heck, I'll have another beer and consider the beauty of the yellow glory emiting from the hastula.
