Heading out to clearwater FL tomm for a vacation and was just wondering if anyone had any good greenhouse, must see palm sellers things like that in the general area. I am planning on driving alot once I get there to see if I can run across anything good enough to send home.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

those were really good prices and if you were local that included install as well..Lowes and HD had large ones ( not as big as those ) but at reasonable prices as well. bizzys in 3 sizes from 19.99 on up...1 gallons to 30 gallons. Just about any zone 8-11 palm. I only found one clump of trechys and they were at a hotel. not a fav in S. FLA when you can grow stuff like that.. here are the 2 I came home with..everything else I sent home was just plants and seeds. I did bring home a TON of seeds from all kinds of palms..any US member want some I can send a mixed bag for shipping cost..there super fresh..Sorry Canada but that border is a *I*T** dont want to risk em.

Nice looking palms. Those are great prices. I couldnt imagine what all I would have brought home.

Looking foward to seeing how they handle being transported. Good luck with em.

I bring in seeds from all over the world all the time and have never had a shipment ceased by customs. I wouldn't let the border scare you out of helping a Canadian.

I personally love Canada but the last few times I went those border people were not friendly..If someone wants some seeds I will be wiling to give it a go I guess.
