Hello dears, It's not Fools' Day and I've never witnessed anything like it: a 7 Months old seedling of a Date Palm seems to be flowering. Here you have some pictures: http://www.imagebanana.com/img/mrdxn43u/DSC00858.JPG http://www.imagebanana.com/img/vh0q78/DSC00859.JPG http://www.imagebanana.com/img/nb9wdtd/DSC00860.JPG Please share your opinion.

I'm here as well! I must say I lost not nearly as much as some of the folks just to my north and west, but I did lose some important palms for me. Coconut, Pinanga, Licuala, Drymopholeus, and surprised with the tenderness of Ptychosperma schefferii. My lowest was 34, but it really was the extended cold temperatures, not the lowest low. Most would visit my place and not recognize anything out of place...but I do. I miss my coconut already!

Well,Taste differs & some would hate the spines & thorns seen in the phoenix family.But i say that iam not a fan of the coconut palms,just beacause they are very common to place where i live... So we can neatly conclude this by saying that fimilarity breeds contempt ! Love, kris I can understand what you said, but i live surrounded by CIDP (and my yard does not have any), and i still like this palm a lot. Maybe it should be more understandable that people would not choose CIDP as one of the precious palms, but choose it as an ugly palm?????? Regards! Rafael

With all the CIPD beauty that we can observe here, how can it be possible anyone to choose this palm as the ulgiest one (as several members did in a recent topic)???

Yes- while no one here is my Mother, Several Ladies here are someones Mother. Happy Mothers Day!!
