Dypsis poiveana, Crysophilla warscewizianus planted in the garden

[happypalms]

Two more great palms go in the ground, I already have them scattered throughout the garden, but when I find a nice palm that grows well and takes the cool winter I stock up on them, mainly for ornamental affect but also for future seed production. Some I may never see set seeds others are quite fast at flowering from a young age either way plant em in the ground.

Richard, how many species do you have?🙄
I've made up my mind! I'll come to your house at night and steal everything!

[Hu Palmeras]

Richard. We'll steal everything from you tonight. I'll lead the grand plan for the precious palm trees. But Mazat will be in charge of finding a private jet to travel to Australia. Guiussepe will be the technical director of the plan, and I'll be the brains. Harry will also provide the technical and precision tools. It's a plan for Europe and America. To get there, Richard. This time, you'll only have to hand over those precious palm trees, which are very valuable. And Mr. John and Sancho will keep half the loot. Constantinos will contribute with the swim to skirt the coast. And I'll be in charge of convincing Dave to come with us and contribute his expertise.

Last time I checked not enough species 🤣

[Hu Palmeras]

You have many beautiful species, but mine are just germinating. I must have larger species in development.

You're right Colin, he's one of the best experts on chamaedorea, just what I'm interested in.

Richard and all of you, seriously, if we were thieves, I don't think we'd waste our time writing here, instead of going out to steal.
I tell everyone, my wife and I had a business. I saw people of all ages stealing low-value goods. What a shame, but the more I saw these dishonest people, the more my faith in God grew.

It's not true, you have so many species, almost all of which are impossible for me to grow, but I'm not complaining, I can grow more than 150 species of palm trees, and even hybrids of palm trees that are resistant to light frost.

The way I look at thieves is go and get a job and work for it. It’s not hard to go to work, in fact the hardest part about working is getting out of bed to go to work. It’s a struggle sometimes for people and resorting to stealing is not good, Australia was penal colony for mother England but most of those sent to Australia was for stealing food. Obviously that is a different situation and that’s when it becomes a struggle for some people, die or steal food tough choice. But as for a thief I have no time for them.

Ok I have a few species but like all palm collectors there is room for more palms.

You know that all this talk and all this nonsense is just a joke, Richard. But it's to have a good time for a while. You know that the beautiful world of palm trees unites us. There are palm trees for cold or extreme climates. Cold climates for Ireland, England, Europe, and more tropical ones like the Caribbean or the Pacific islands. Each palm tree will suit different climates.

Oh yes i  know it’s a joke, I don’t mind a bit of stirring up Australians are good at doing that, at work we are the same so long as the job gets done have fun along the way , and then there are times when you know to be straight forward with no joking around. There are hundreds of palms suited to your environment, finding them is the hard part. With the internet and palmtalk you can easily find out what grows in your climate. But sometimes do by the internet palmtalk yes but the net is full of misleading information. 

[Hu Palmeras]

That's true, dear friend Richard. You have a very good Irish and, above all, Celtic character. I'm like that too. Calm, peacemaker, but when I get overwhelmed, I'm a tank or a tornado.💪💪😅

No not really it just makes sense to plant more palms for the environment, and to ensure the survival of rare and endangered plants. That alone brings me great happiness. I have friends in Australia that are solely for Australian native plant rehabilitation, yes I agree it is good to think locally, but globally also is very important. After all we share the same planet and have to look after the wonderful gift of Mother Nature that provides us with life giving elements!

Yes, that would be a wonderful adventure with lots of lovely people who share the same passion and everyone has a good sense of humor.
Let's see, maybe Sabine will find a bargain on flights. I wouldn't be surprised, and I mean that humorously, but also seriously ...

Unfortunately, there is also a lot of theft here. Several Agave americana variegata plants were dug up at night behind the apartment building this year.
This summer, we had damage to our car in the parking lot, and then again two weeks ago. According to our Iraqi neighbor, the perpetrator is a neighbor who beats his wife. He causes the damage, then goes away with his car or the car he is currently using, and a week later he comes back with another car, also completely scratched. We have now changed parking spaces and everything is quiet. The police can't do anything without the car he's using at the time, and they all think he's guilty. He just takes off after every incident. I wanted to confront him, but I'm not keen on meeting my maker, so to speak... or if he's armed...I just feel sorry for everyone he has harmed and will continue to harm. He will constantly hurt people, he simply has to be stopped.

Tom, you are still young, your time has not yet come to meet our creator, you and your wife avoid this man.

[Hu Palmeras]

I hope they take that man to jail and force him to spend New Year's in prison. It can't be Mazat. Anyway, they're very good friends and are in a great mood. I've laughed a lot with all of you, friends. You're very funny.
