Some random photos from the auction at Mike Harris's place. Jeff and I arrived late in the day as the auction was in full swing. Ryan

I will get a photo of the A. oxycarpa, but at this stage it just looks like any other 1 gallon Areca. Ryan

I converted the lists over, see if these two files work. Ryan

New additions to the palm list as of today. Many were recent additions, while a few were hiding along the sidewalk and missed the initial list. I will work on that .pdf request, but the Forum restricts the size of file attachments. I will see what I can do for a work around. Allagoptera...

The first draft of the Palm & Cycad list is now ready for inspection. It is an extensive list and more species will most likely be added in the coming days. With the 312 species and over 400 size groups, I would put the current draft at around 90% completion. Searle Brothers Nursery, Inc. &...

Woot - (W o o t) The emote or smiley in question, seems to fit the mood of plant enthusiasm.

The Croton list has been compiled and the first draft consists of 162 cultivars. As many of you may know, Jeff is always pulling plants for the sale and is probably adding to this list as you are reading it. If I find out any additional names I will try and add them here. If I were to guess, I...

The first draft of the Palm and Cycad list is now ready. There is still more time to pull plants between now and next weekend, plus I have a mental note of more that could be added -- therefore I put the draft status at 90 percent completed. I am sending out copies to those who have asked for...

I have the first draft of the Croton list ready and since this topic had been created, figured might as well post it here. As always the list can change between now and next weekend. Most likely it will be added to, as Jeff finds more plants to pull. He has in the past, omitted items from the...

- I backed up as far as I could to try and photograph the entire plant. As you should know by now, the aisles in the shadehouses are rather narrow. I was so close the shadow of my glare hood covered the basket. I was impressed by the image of this mature terrestrial cycad growing in a hanging...

- Now it was the time for us to leave. I think we actually 'tried' to leave a few times. With all the distractions, plants and stories pulling on you to stay and keep your attention, it was hard to move towards the exit. In any direction you looked, even for the tenth time, there was something...

- For anyone who doesn't already know, Croton talk is spontaneous and quite contagious. We were all up front finishing business and looking over various plants when another croton-related debate (a CRD, to acronym the phrase) broke out. A cultivar of note was discussed and the debate brought...

- "Woof..woof....grrr...woof!" Time had come to start working our way back up front. If we didn't leave I would have been here until the sun went down. Noon came and went and plans for the rest of the day were changing by the minute. Jeff was collecting his purchases from around the nursery and...

- With Chris in attendance, we now had a group on tour. The conversation focused on crotons throughout the rest of the visit as we slowly moved through the garden. With Jeff and Chris following behind, we entered a Bromeliad section near the corner of the property. I made a path through the...

Marie, It was a true pleasure and joy to bring my lens to your place as the experience still has not worn off for me, nor will it any time soon. It was tough to pick which photos to take and which to post, but I knew any amount would be special. I could not show everything that your garden...

- Marie motioned me over to take a closer look at this shrub known only by the genus, Poikilospermum sp. and I immediately noticed the bizarre pink to purple colored flowering structures located right off from the axillary joints... - The buds are actually forming inflorescences that will...

- This exact plant might be on display at the Ramble this coming weekend, but it will probably not be for sale. Just eye candy for those lucky enough to find their booth. There might be smaller specimens for sale, but not many. If you must fondle the plant, do so gently. - I was figuring...
