That is a kind offer. That is why I grow some of the palms I do in my greenhouse. When I was collecting palms, I tried to buy the most rare ones I could afford. Some of them only exist today in cultivation, their habitats have been destroyed. Some are only known in the wild in a small very specific place. My collection is very small, and some of the most rare ones I tried to grow did not survive (Licuala cordata, Licuala orbiculares to name 2) There are a lot of palmophiles who do nothing but try and conserve species that are extremely threatened. I grow a lot of different plants, not just palms. But I love my palms. My husband has instructions on who to call in case I die to come take care of my plant collection.
