   Phil and Hugh are finally going to regale us on their experiences of the big Madagascar trip they were a part of. Remember they took off to the Seychelles as well.

    CFPACS returns to Tampa on June 13th. We will begin at the garden of the late Dr. U. A. Young. Dr. Young’s garden is one of the great private palm and cycad collections in Florida with many specimens dating back to the 1960’s. Dr. Young’s son Brad will serve as our tour guide. Brad has been tending the garden and working with the cycads over the past year, producing good seed from several rare species. The noteworthy palm and cycad specimens in the garden are too numerous to mention. This is an opportunity to see many mature palms and cycads that have survived long term in central Florida. In the afternoon we will visit Dorothy Kellog’s garden. Dorothy’s gard…
