    This was a really good meeting and tour. Stosh has done an amazing amount of work and has some great palms. But, alas, I got lazy and didn't take any pictures.

    Just to test the photo upload feature, I'll post a photo I just took yesterday of some of my Clinostigmas. I think the species is C. harlandii.

    What a difference, and in relatively short time!  I am particularly impressed with that hole you dug.  Would you be willing to attach your excellent map with the palm species too?

    It was a really great interactive experience.  People were gathered around maps or around a palm discussing various aspects.  My favorite story was about the Metroxylon that defied belief and grew back after it was cut down.  The growing point in this species reaches almost to the ground and so will regenerate if not cut at ground level.  As shown in the first photo.
