Looking back through some of my recent photos...came to the conclusion that when you get palm nutters in amongst beautiful palms, they all go crazy! Look at those faces LOL! Feel free to post your crazed palmophile photos here too...

Mercury, Jonathan and myself amongst some New Cal beauties...

Daryl,

It was a great pleasure so many years ago meeting you and the wild band that is Aussie down at Montgomery Gardens when IPS traveled to Miami! The privilege of meeting you and Wal was spectacular.
 

I can still remember the picture that you guys took amongst the insane group of Hemithrinax. It was like a scene out of Dr. Strangelove! If you could locate that picture, it would constitute a true tribute to Wal!

Hi Bubba, yes it was great to meet you and a lot of other Palmtalkers back then...where did those 9 years go? 

 

Is this the photo you were referring to?

Daryl,

Thank you so much. There was actually a picture of the whole group of Aussie wild men in that Hemithrinax grove at Montgomery (which included you). Please post!

The So Cal Palm group exercises the utmost in decorum at all times...

 

well, ALMOST all the time...

 

USUALLY we are couth to a fault.

 

Maybe, OCCASIONALLY we slip and may misbehave.

 

 

 

 

Okay. I think there was ONE time we were on our best behavior.  WELL, at least I was...

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

The elusive Palm Nut (Homo sapiens 'palmnutterae') is often spotted lurking around and drooling over palms. To locate one, simply give them a whiff of a palm and soon they will come in droves. Beware, their palm-crazed state may be contagious! Remain at a distance lest you become a nut yourself. Symptoms may include impulsive or random purchases of palms, constant need to be around palms, and perpetual discussion of palms regardless of the situation. And they are not content to remain in their warm-climate habitat. They are spreading northward at an alarming rate, taking over the world with their palm nuttiness. There seem to be no hopes of containment...

 

I fear I have become one of them!

Love the photos, thank you for capturing evidence of the Palm Nuts in their element.

Daryl,

Great idea and great photos (everybody!). I couldn't help myself so I went through some of my (MANY!) Biennial photos and needless to say I found a few gems.

Here we are in Costa Rica on the 2008 Biennial and yes, this is (of course) Bill Sanford! 😄

More from the Florida 2014 Biennial, and one of the favorite events! Needless to say, Wal was (as always) in the thick of it! 😃
