So, Did you sell more or buy more?

[Jonathan]

Good grief, nice haul Richard but there can't be anything left to buy now! 

I do like the look of those D procera.

a little bit of Italy in Australia, here they are everywhere

[peachy]

My one chance each year to buy rare palms of a decent size and without paying massive postal fees. Also the only time I get to catch up with people from far away. This year with the incredible heat and humidity I have just been too sick to go anywhere, even my eyesight went blurry this time (yet another complication with MS) so even going online has not been possible.  Now I am back to whatever passes for normal, a bit more wobbly a lot more useless than before.

 

Richard, I see you snavelled a lot of the palms I would have bought if I had been able to get there this year.  Now I have a long long wait until next year.

I had to buy them peachy, I plead insanity it was my bank account that was forcing me to do it, with a few non show buyers (peachy) it was all up for grabs and grab I did indeed!

And it shall be planted in my garden, perhaps it needs an olive tree and a grape vine just so it feels like it’s in Italy!

You had to be there it was like the heavens opened up and the palms fell to the ground! I couldn’t buy anymore I had no room left in the car, even left the wife at home so I had more room in the car. 
Those procera I grab one to start with then every time I walked past I grabbed another and eventually well you know I walked past five times, so iam no mathematical genius and I ended up with all five by the looks of it, one is even flowering🌱

Yes I did sell my plants, so the sallehana and Geonoma where the only real purchase, a fair trade off my collection increased and the other sellers sold more plants!

@Mazat this is what your country needs a spectacular show of palms for sale, if one had  the investment money a two acre climate controlled environment would be the place to start your business!
