Hi, guys. I haven't been on this thread for a while as I stay pretty close to the orchid forum but this is special. Our Master Gardener group was treated to a tour of the Gizella Kopsick Palm Arboretum in St. Petersburg yesterday and I wanted to share the photos I took. Some of the name tags were missing so I am taking my best shot at a few of them. I hope you enjoy the tour.

Jim

No sign but I think this is a Beccariophoenix alfredii:

No sign again but I'm guessing a Hyphaene thebaica. You don't see this African beauty often:

No sign but it looks like a Attalea cohune with the trunk still underground:

This is a hybred cycad of some kind but I'm not sure what. Anyone know?

I'm getting numb. I'll post the rest later. I just love that Carpoxylon macrospermum but I've never seen one for sale.
