Hello from Netherlands

[Mate2008]

Hello all,
First i want to apologize for the fact that i cant write Croatian.
I understand and can read most of it but writing is a problem, i hope you dont mind and i can join this forum to talk about exotics.
My father is from Croatia, he was born on the island vis and moved to Split when he was about 10 till 24 years.
I still got a lot of family in Split and some at Vis.
All my life (28years) i went to Croatia for at least one time in a year because i love the country so much.
i live in a city close to the sea and Amsterdam (where i was born).
Because of the beautifull exotics i see every year in Dalmatia i created a passion for it and now try to grow exotics here in the cold but mild Netherlands.
I hope i can share some information and pictures with you!

Greets!


p.s i found a picture on this forum from the old house of my father at Vis, the one with the big Dactylifera in front.

Always nice to see this crazy curved P.Canariensis when i visit Hvar:
