Just beautiful, Carolyn! You wouldn't see anything growing around here in mid-winter! LOL. In fact, we don't have palm trees up in NY at all, even in summer. #10274324

Have one in the front of my office. Excellent close up and detail. We had to trap and relocate both possums and raccoons. #10278668
