I will add some pictures for palm collected or purchased in the 60's or early 70's. This material is from La, Tx, or NM. The palm from NM is thought to be from the Aleman ranch near Engle, Nm.

Beautiful stuff, but I'm not going to even say the first thought that came into my head when I saw those! (rotflmao1)

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis
