Removed a couple of old leaf sheaths this arvo.

It's that time again. It's time for me to be all doom and gloom about my Cubs, time for @Butch to talk about the Dodgers, and for @Fusca to occasionally chime in. The Cubs actually signed a quality player in the off-season so who knows. Enjoy this year because the lockout is coming next year. Get your 47 different streaming services ready! I think the greatest news this off-season is ESPN isn't going to bore us to death every Sunday night anymore. Anyway Go Cubs! Spring training games start in just a few hours.

Yes, he and his brother operated the nursery off farmland they owned. He invested heavily in inventory but not infrastructure, and unfortunately it caught up to him. From what he had told me any profit they made came from basic cold hardy species sold wholesale to local DFW landscapers. The rarer stuff was a dream of his for the business , that eventually became a massive loss. He spent tens of thousands on seeds from RPS alone, and that was before their shipping went crazy . He traveled to California , Florida , etc and bought every specimen level, seed producing age Cycad, Palm , Yucca , Dasylirion etc. he could get ahold of. From what he told me most of the rare stuff survived in his better greenhouses and he has kept for himself. He has absolutely no interest in being affiliated or caught up in the hobby/industry again.

Sometimes folks just move on. I've done that on a couple of non-palm forums.

Awesome news.

I had to pull the Cuban Red off the bench. Very very very rare selfie here. I'm 5'8 for reference, and the big boy in the back corner is a Blue Java. These were both the size of roughly a tallboy beer in November.

Dog, it was 83 today. And we're supposed to have lows of like 26 Monday and Tuesday. I hate this 💩 so much.

I'm curious too. I can't imagine how devastating that must have been to lose everything like that, I just hope he's doing alright.

I have TONS of these. The variegation isn't crazy white leaves or anything, it's more yellow streaks. I cannot promise how much variegation you'll see, but what I can promise is I have more than I want or need. There's another cold front coming next week, I'll ship out after that. I got diabetic supplies I need to buy. They're vigorous and fast growers for me.

Good news! the new growth is coming up and its green so I'm just keeping it dry until its fully out and back to normal! 🤠

Any updates on this palm and how large is has gotten now? Its a very colorful and beautiful specimen!

Already making photosynthesis (Turning green)

One wonders if that 4" of snow(I won't mention rain and freezing rain) melted and "wetted" those frozen -5f palms in Las Cruces? Let's not look at the 10" in Alamogordo.

Man yall this is insane def gonna set a lot of people’s gardens and stuff Back awhile. that baby foxtail i planted along with the others that were larger are def dead in Kissimmee FL

Planted bulbs. A lot of bulbs. Surprisingly there was very little rot in any of them since I let them just sit there for a minute. And I cut them up into smaller bulbs (with eyes) because I hate myself and the 300 someodd damn pots in here just wasn't enough for me. I also went ahead and sowed some seeds from @Bigfish and I'm gonna try @teddytn's method since I'm already doing that for Butia. I didn't get to all of them, just the Causiarum. Homey even cleaned them before he shipped them. Anyway then I planted some more bulbs and then I planted some more bulbs and then I potted up a sulking agave and a whale fin that's doing good just no room for babies. Hey! She's making a baby. Y'all I'm throwing 💩 on the floor already. I need spring to come on so I can free up space and hopefully make a dollar or two and spend it unwisely. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DU93JzWDX_3/?igsh=MTllY2V3YTVpMjdmbg==

I was born in the 70s, but I absolutely plead the fifth about anything that's happened since then. I ain't saying nothing without a subpoena or an audience 😂

It’ll actually be more often than every five years as I think of it, but I don’t want to have to miss everything around it with falling trees on the semi regular.

I am aware that Joseph Rossi Lost most of his palms in the 2021 Freeze But does anyone know what happened to him he literally dropped off the face of the earth haven't heard anything about him in years. ! I'm assuming he just completely gave up on the palm hobby.

I want to be included in a palm society 😭✌️

Plant a manchineel tree there (Hippomane mancinella) and a arbour of deadly nightshade, see how they go bashing them about! 🪴

Well at least that’s better than doing the dish’s, they did more than pressboards and farts in the 70s, maybe you didn’t hit your head perhaps it was something else you did in the 70s that’s related too psycadellics!🍄

The palm gods have spoken and if it’s action they want, action they get!

I guess so, lucky I don’t I have an active volcano on hand or I would be thrown into that 🤣

@kylecawazafla what @Stevetoad said! Don’t give up!
