Does anyone know if Coco de Mer grows anywhere on the island of Hawaii? I don't want to grow it, but it would be fun to see one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legends_of_the_coco_de_mer
Thanks for answering, Moose. Let me know if you need help removing moss from your antlers.There are but a few here in South Florida. Our occasional cold fronts make it a difficult one to grow here. The seed ranges in price @ $800 to $1200 per seed. And there is no guarantee as to the viability.
Lodoicea maldivica is only found in hard core collections here. I suspect there are more being cultivated in Hawaii.
Bren, The city of St Petersburg purchased the palm and cycad collection of Dr Young early this year. I hear the collection was to be relocated to Kopsick and Sunken Gardens. Has it happened? I do not know.What ever happened to the one over in Tampa?
Puna, huh? Then I'll wait for it to come to the west side, because Puna is too far, and kinda dangerous and crazy right now. But thanks.I know of two people in Puna that have them. In one garden there are three, and the other only one. They are all over 10 years old, but still a while from trunking.
But with everything that has been going on in Puna, it may be a while before you would be able to get in and get a look. Another few weeks and it may be very hard to get down to lower Puna. Both of these gardens are in Leilani Estates.
Well - first it was Hurricane Iselle which put Puna in the bull's eye. They were 2-3 weeks without electricity, trees across roads, etc. That happened 6 weeks ago.Whats going on in Puna?
Actually - nothing comes as a surprise around here - you have to be prepared for just about anything (except freezes).This would be no surprise to anyone who has lived on the Big Island.
I can accept that some people believe in a lava monster named, "Pele", because, after all, when I was a child, I believed in Santa Claus. But it's the HATE and ANGER that comes out of so many of these Hawaiians that I don't understand. And as you could see in the video, the White, USGS guys, were tooooootally wallowing in political correctness. It's so sad. NOBODY is attacking Hawaiian culture by wanting to divert the lava. People just wanted to save their homes, and the Hawaiians would still be having their pidgin, their ukuleles, their tattoos, their pitbulls and their monster trucks with plastic balls on them.Actually - nothing comes as a surprise around here - you have to be prepared for just about anything (except freezes).
You are forgetting about the top of the mountain! What a beautiful sight to see snow through coconut palms.Actually - nothing comes as a surprise around here - you have to be prepared for just about anything (except freezes).
Yep, much more beautiful than on the coconut palms.You are forgetting about the top of the mountain! What a beautiful sight to see snow through coconut palms.
