Hi Everyone ,
I am back from our trip. We had a very good time and I took a lot of pics and if I every get them developed I will show everyone some of the things I saw.
I did not get to travel into Mexico, only into a border town, but it was so much fun It sure makes me happy to be an American. I feel for people in other countries that don't have it as well as I do here.
I seen so many places I have never seen before Yuma was very cool and had the best weather, it was a great place to stay. We also traveled into the deserts of California and Nevada. I got to travel into Glendale Nevada, this is where the controversial wild palms are that are not supposed to be native I seen small forest of palms in southern Arizona along the colarado river, but are nothing like the palm forests by Glendale NV. These palms are old and far away from other older palms of the area. I also noticed that a cold spell came through the area this winter and completely froze back other Filifera palms to the point of looking comepletly dead, but a mile to the north are hundreds of untouched wild palms. I think these palms have been there a very long time. I also think they need to do more studies on these palms
We had so much fun, I hope everyone gets a chance to visit there .

Kansas,
Give me a PM with your address and I will send out your palm this week

Glad to have you back. I look forward to seeing your pics.
I sent you a PM about the Sabal.

Welcome back Aaron. Sounds like you had a fun interesting trip. Can't wait to see some pics. I'm heading down to Nevada in a few months (LV area) and i hope i can make it to Glendale to check the area out.

Regards,
Jay

Hi Jay,
If you get the chance, check it out. It was very cool. Also you might want to check out Valley of Fire state park on the way

Hi Kansas,
I did not recieve you PM, so if you want to send me an e-mail with your address, I will send it out tomorrow Thanks

I just wrote that I am going to wait a week or so before I order. The wife wants (OK I do too) a big screen TV for the game, plus our basement is huge and all we have is a little 27". We have to squint to see it from the couch.
So I will get with you in a week or so. How much was it again?

Hi Kansas,
The price is $7.00+$6.00 shipping. No hurry, if you find better priced plants that is fine also

Aaron,

It would be cool to check it out. I will definetly try to make it there. I'm not sure which route we are going to take when we drive but it would be nice to drive through Idaho again and see the desert.

Regards,
Jay

Jay, make sure if you go to Glendale NV. to get some seeds of the wild palms. There is a bunch north of the town. I did not have a chance to get any when I was down there (I was not driving ) But if you do, I would like to buy some off you or trade something for them? If you come this way through Idaho I would trade what ever you want for them:D

Aaron, if i make it there and get some seeds they are yours.

Thanks Jay

I too am headed down to Las vegas on Feb 9. How far is Glendale from LV? If it isn't too far I'll get some seeds. Whenever I go to a place with palms I always pic up some seeds.

If I send you a SASE, could you send me some too????
I heard on another forum that there are so many Washy seeds that people are giving them away.
Anybody have any they want to give away?????

What's a SASE?

Self Addressed Stamped Envelope.
I can send one with bubble wrap or whatever you need.

Hi Wes,

I haven't been to Glendale yet but i believe it's about 45 miles NE of Las Vegas.

Regards,
Jay

Thats about right Jay

Sorry.... I just noticed that I been calling Logandale by the name of Glendale. My Mistake It is the town of Logandale Nevada North of Overton Nevada That is where the palms are that I was taking about.

I said I would post some pics when I could well here is one to start with It is some nice palms in Yuma Arizona.

CIDP, Yuma Arizona

Nice pics Aaron. The first photo I`m guessing is of a tall slender trunk W. robusta? the shorter fatter trunk is a W.filifera? Show us more of those warmer weather palm pics.
John

You are right John
Except I think their Filiferas down there are mostly hybrids?

Awesome palms. Wish i could grow them in my yard.

Looking inside the eye of the Filifera

Bougainvillea at the old Yuma prison.

Nice pics. Looks like you got to see lots of cool plants on your trip.

Great to see Saguaro pix.I've been a fan since the days of The High Chapparal!LOL.

I love the saguaros also

This is a sabal palm from the old yuma prison, but not sure if it is sabal mexicana or sabal palmetto? I know in other parts of town there was smaller sabal mexicanas around.

Filifera's and other palms at the old mission

Great pics. Makes me want to go to that prison. Just to look that is.
