I’ve just completed a new round of audio slideshow presentations for your education and enjoyment. These new presentations cover a recent trip we took to the Malaysian peninsula and state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo, and include many exotic palms not usually seen.

 

If after viewing you have questions, corrections, or any additional information, feel free to contact me at Floribunda Palms.

 

Parts #1 and #2 of Peninsular Malaysia are ready for viewing HERE 

 

Parts #! and #2 of Sarawak will be available in 2-3 days at the same location. So stay tuned.

 

Here are a couple of photos to whet your appetite. And no, they are not photoshopped. (A Giant Johannesteijsmannia altifrons and Pinanga disticha 'Stained Glass')

SO, SO Glad that Jeff had a good rave about the Discusting Deforestatrion of Virgin  Rainforests for the planting of palm oil plantations. I spoke about this in my Gardens by the bay thread 4 yrs ago.

Great presentatons Jeff and Dean, great stuff....btw my fav palm was Pinanga disticha Stained glass what a "Pearler"..

Since the USA is the "Super Power" I think they could/should put a "STOP" to anymore  deforestation, below is a map, owned/run by Wilmar corporation which I imagine is a Chinese company?? Evil, Evil stuff....   Pete.map01.jpg

Wilmar International is Singapore based, major shareholdings are Malaysian and American . CSR is now called Wilmar Sugar Australia who own the sugar industry infrastructure of FNQ. Goodman Fielder sold it to them. International commerce at its best, if Aussies were to boycott them in protest then we destroy our cane farmers . Play Peter against Paul and  #@*& you Jack the share holder comes first. I don't know the answer, maybe there isn't one, what I am sure of is that nature will endure, whether we do is another thing. And yes I share the blame . Darwin has a mothballed bio-diesel plant that was built with great green fanfare , it closed down because the palm oil  feed stock became to expensive. At this point as current affairs in Australia show the economic imperative comes first and until there is some sort of adjustment peat fires will burn in the rain forests of Asia. Anyway enough said

Regards John K.

Thank You John, Yes its all about Economics Not the Natural World and Malaysia ans USA are the Big Players, "No Wonder" it wont stop..:( Evil Vs Enlightened...      Pete

Sorry Jeff, Dean and Suchin to say above on your Stunning Thread but looks like its time for may 1000s of Americans to "Protest" outside the Whitehouse..

Next on the hit list and its already in operation is Cameroon which has the largest virgin rainforest left in Africa...Ohhhhh, the poor natives and abundant wildlife that once called that mighty rainforest their home..sad,sad,sad...

From the presentations you can pull up just the photos, sort through, and view them conveniently one by one from the menu options in the control bar on the bottom. So, if you don't have time to hear the presentation again, and would just like to locate and view a few of the photos, this is easy to do.

The Hawaii Island Palm Society was lucky enough to have Floibunda give two subsequent lecture/slide shows of both these presentations back in April as part of HIPS's lecture series. Both were well attended and some of these rare palms were given as prizes for answering quizzes related to the lectures. See, paying attention has it's benefits!

Jeff,

This was discussed, explained, and labeled in the presentation by Jeff as Licuala sp. "Fantasia" Unfortunately in severe jeopardy. IMO - one of the most insane palms in all of Jeff's presentations.

Great thread...why aren't the biennials hooked with Jeff?

I remember when Clayton and Mikey (decd) showed "Fantasia" on PT years ago, it was smaller then,but I really thought it wasnt real, it looked like a fake plastic palm, great to see it thriving in this garden, hope the name stays as it so suits it. Pete  :)SarawakSlides_63-231 copy.jpg

Just finished watching the Sarawak presentation. This after returning from the pre-tour and biennial. Many of these species observed on the tour, but I doubt that my photos are this good. Thanks much for this.

I concur with Mike. I need to take some time to watch now that I've been there.. :D

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!
