Ok, so I haven’t been on a Vacation in years, I can only share what I created with my home landscape, Zone 8. No real picture adjustments. Pre-2021 Texas devastating freeze of the century ( for me).

Not at quite the level i wish they were ( # 2 and 3 a bit too grainy/ blurred, & panned a touch too far to the left for starts ),  ...but not the worst snaps either.

Just saw this topic. I am posting photos of my original Cocos nucifera Dwarf Red Spicata coconut from 2013-2015. This is a In Memoriam posting as I lost this fabulous palm to Hurricane Irma in 2017. Fortunately, I have two of her offspring in my Garden Lot: a solitary and twins I hope will come back after Hurricane Ian
