    A group of Hawai‘i Island Palm Society members recently traveled to northern Peru in conjunction with the International Palm Society’s midterm board meeting. Join Michael Lock as he shares photo and video highlights —stories that will transport you to vast palm swamps of Mauritius flexuosa, a focused hunt for Itaya amicorum, and misty high-elevation cloud forests home to the tallest palms in the world, Ceroxylon quidiuense.  Michael’s photos will offer a glimpse of the extraordinary birds and monkeys living amongst the approximately 140 species of palms from 34 genera in Perú. There will also be a chance to walk away with a Peruvian palm from Floribunda Palms & Exotics - so you won't want to miss this entertaining evening.
