Some info

The Brahea armata comes originally from Baja California and North-West Mexico. It is a very cold hardy palm. It can withstand -10c° in optimal dry conditions. There are green and silver coloured forms. Brahea armata can become 12m tall and more. But don't worry it's not a fast grower.

Palms

I'm first going to start with the more common palms. Eventually I will fill in the gaps. However does anyone know how to alphabetise my messages? That would make it easier for my visitors.

Worldseed

Hi everybody

Do you know that feeling? You've planted a seed, it has germinated but you've lost the label? Well that's when Worldseed will come in the picture. From now on you'll have a place where you can look it up in one place and not search the entire internet for ages.

The goal is to create a database of every possible seed on earth. First only the seed with it's common name and Latin name and a picture. Next the adult plant and perhaps the forms in between. Seedling etc. Ofcourse I want to sort the seeds by kind. Like palms, grasses, etc. and provide some info about it.

I know what you all are thinking. That is a huuuuge plan! And I know you're right. That's why I'm going to do it step by step. But with your help I will get there. Everyone can help and send me a picture of their seed and plants.

Wish me luck :D
