Aaron,
thanks for the ONGOING

training session.
What a fabulous pic for comparison.
Yes I DO see the difference, but from a "cold start" (without being told), would never

This summer you'll have to ID my two Washies for sure to see what hybrids might be.
John thought one was a filibusta, but couldn't remember.
They oughta be easier to nail down this summer.

Appreciate your digging up that photo Aaron, thanks.

Chihuahua MX, huh?

You make look so easy to tell em apart. I guess I will just to carry a tape measure around with me.

lucky1 · Post by **lucky1** » Mon Jan 13, 2014 3:54 pm

OK, Aaron, get ready to laugh at my attempt:

Washy robusta at left, flanked by two big filibustas? or are those tall ones filiferas?

You'll be pulling your hair out again, I know.
Good I can't hear you scream

LOL, The two big ones are robustas and the small one filibusta? I have a hard time telling filibustas apart from the others. So when I can decide I call it a filibusta.

DesertZone · Post by **DesertZone** » Mon Jan 13, 2014 8:11 pm

Filifera- bigger leaves, lighter color, fat trucks, hairy leaves, more leaves, stiffer leaves, bigger crowns.

Robusta- smaller leaves, dark green, smaller trunks when older, less leaves, smaller crowns.

Filibustas- the ones I can't decide what they are.

Oh for #$%&**@! sake

I'll get it tattooed on my arm.

So which one's leaves typically bend in the middle?

For the most part robustas will when they get bigger. However the both can. It can be very confusing.

Filifera also have more fingers on the leaves, if that makes sense?

It can be very confusing.

No s***, Sherlock!

By fingers, do you mean vein segments?

chadec · Post by **chadec** » Tue Jan 14, 2014 9:03 am

Barb, at some point you just have to not give a $&!t. Sit back and say "Hey look at the pretty palms"

lucky1 · Post by **lucky1** » Tue Jan 14, 2014 9:29 am

Yeah, Chad, but I'd like to think at my ripe old age I can still learn how to ID something I've got growing here.

Yes, I think. More fronds more lopes.

I need to go back to school.

I should't act like I know what I'm talking about, still learning myself.

How cool it would be to travel all around southern Europe. The street views are awesome.

And you obviously took Photos ??

The cost of living there is quite high despite Italy being almost bankrupt ( but not as bankrupt as the UK). Holidays / Vacations there are much more expensive compared to say Spain or Greece. As an island lover I would love to visit Sicily or more to the point live there.

Andy's right, Michael, where are the pics of your trip?

Friends visited southern Italy last Fall and said it was VERY expensive.
I forgot the name of the place.
Something like $10,000 for 3 weeks

which means I'll never get to go.

Bougainvillea all over the place too.
I've never been able to keep one alive for even a month.

But the palms in Sorrento...wow, stunning.
And I love the narrow cobbled streets, seems everyone rides a little motorcycle.

Yes, Ive taken about 1000 pics, but in specific Nikon format which must transferred to jpeg. It takes time.
Living cost is about 100 euro a day at the best location in Napoli. Spent about 2000 euro in 7 days for accommodation, food and trips. KLM ticket from Almaty to Rome was about 500 bucks.

lucky1 · Post by **lucky1** » Sat Jan 18, 2014 10:46 am

500 bucks.

Sheesh, the flight to Regina is more than that.
And who wants to go to Regina?

igor.glukhovtsev · Post by **igor.glukhovtsev** » Sat Jan 18, 2014 11:01 am

Barb, Air Canada and our Kazakh Air Astana are monopolists. KLM is kinda struggling company. So some time it gives good price for travelling to Europe. 7 hours to Amsterdam and 1 and half hours to Rome and back to Kazakhstan for 500 bucks is not too bad.

lucky1 · Post by **lucky1** » Sat Jan 18, 2014 11:55 am

1 and half hours to Rome

Ah...sounds wonderful.

1 and a half hours from here to any directionn is still winter

lucky1 · Post by **lucky1** » Sat Jan 25, 2014 11:54 am

Pair of perfect Phoenix canariensis!

So lovely when they're well grown.
Easy as pie in LaJolla, California.
