Fairchild's Copernicia baileyana in 1977

I think this was my first visit to Fairchild Tropical Garden, June 1977.  Not a good photo--I was doing better Kodachromes with my Minolta, but it's enough to give a feel for how the famous group looked back then.  

Me?  I moved to Wyoming in April 1978

Fla. climate center: 100-119 days>85 F
USDA 1990 hardiness zone 9B
Current USDA hardiness zone 10a
4 km inland from Indian River; 27º N (equivalent to Brisbane)

Central Orlando's urban heat island may be warmer than us

They were nice back then!

Wonder if that is cold damage from the Jan. 1977 freeze on what looks to be an Attalea?

That looks like an Attalea and it looks damaged.  I didn't take other palm photos that would help.
