Licualas still love Puerto Rico

[Cindy Adair]

This is not a complete inventory although that’s also on my agenda.

I love an excuse to wander, but had too many other things to get done today to climb everywhere.

 Also I couldn’t bear to photograph some plants that were sampled by cattle. When / if those recover, I can add them here.

Here is Licuala cabalionii planted August 2011.

Cindy,

 

Nice to see your Licualas in the jungle.
Gladly it seems you have only cattle and no Porcupine and Wild boars, these two destroy so many palms in srilankan countryside garden!

And no leeches?

Ghosts love Halloween and Licuala loves your farm!

No wild pigs, porcupines, gophers, squirrels, rabbits or leeches!  I am very lucky to just have the cattle I guess. I did learn of a blistering vine called Pica Pica (with a pretty fuzzy pod) that is on some farms within 30 minutes from me, but happily I haven't seen any.
