Very ornamental Phoenix hybrid specimen


Eric in Orlando

Recommended Posts

I was coming home last night from West Palm Beach and stopped at the Ft. Drum rest stop along the Florida Turnpike. There is a very handsome Phoenix hybrid growing by the entrance. Nice green leaves and bright orange infructescence. Also a more slender trunk.

In that lonesome drive, it seems that you see some interesting Phoenix specimens in that area for reasons unknown (Ft. Drum area).I have also noticed more than a few wild boar in that area eating grass with no fear of traffic! Big and agile animals in the 300-400 pound weight class.

That is a spectacular Phoenix specimen pictured and I will be looking forward to viewing it on my next sojourn.It is an awesome hybrid brought to us by Eric. What would we do without Eric?
