Palm-istry


Oom Jumadi is one of the craziest artists i've ever known. He painted hundreds of biblical themes and the holy family, yet his true passion is business. His marketing efforts ranged from food consignment to 'fair trading' plants.

One time he fell in love with palms in the days of palm craze (think of anthurium craze right at the moment). he would collect every kind and pot them. He even flew to Pontianak in search of bottle palms and he prided himself in discovering red palms, like that pictured above.

Then i soon discovered that i too loved palms--as long as they produce something edible :)
