I was at a friends house Friday night having dinner and a few drinks. Checking out his yard I came across a section of very nice bamboo palms. I ask for a few seeds and they gave me a bag and said take as many as you want. I collected a couple stalks of seeds. Tonight I am starting 2 snap tite containers 1 with the little green not quite ripened seeds and another with the large black color seeds just like they are off the tree. I also have about 40 of the in a hot soak right now and plan on starting those tomorrow. I have pictures of the palm tree and the stalks with seeds. Then a shot of the seeds in a tin, and finally a shot of the containers in the seed room. These are the 2 containers on the bottom shelf.
Well being born in a paradise like I was here in South Florida I have always taken all of my tropical plants and palms around me for granted. Just recently realizing how lucky I am. I'm going to take full advantage of this tropical climate. This blog is going to show all of my trials and tribulations with growing different species of plants and trees. Feel free to check back regularly and watch my plants grow.

I agree with you..sometimes we do not greet the nature around us enuf..recently I had the chance to visit this remarkable living lab where the scientists have recreated the different biomes under the same roof..it is called biosphere 2 http://www.b2science.org/
