 Today I went to Floribunda Palms to pick up my order.  A little sad that Jeff was sick so no palm tour from him he did drag himself out of bed and show up as I was loading my new palms in the truck.  I did get a quick walk-through with one of his workers to see the garden.  It’s been along time since I’ve been there never enough time on my vacations to do anything.  Well I took a few photos that I can share.

 Not available yet but hopefully they will start producing seed soon.  Only reason I know that is because I asked if there were any available.

 I was thinking of a number in the photos so people could identify the ones in it and make a list because I have no clue only two of them I can identify lol.

   And some of the photos there are so many palms each photo would probably need a list of which palms are in it.

 I do know I want them all :D

Great list you picked out.  Thanks for the pics.  Crazy to think of how many of my plants started out in Jeff's hands.

I recently bought some of those Euterpe 'orange crownshaft' too, couldn't resist the color. You will enjoy all those palms, great list!
