Thanks Eric, that brings my holiday flooding back. If only I shared your ability to identify palms, I may have taken more photo's in the Disney parks.

Eric, thanks for the pics! Animal Kingdom was always my favorite of the Disney Parks because of their beautiful tropical landscaping. I haven't been there in a long time so it's nice to see how well everything is doing.

You can sure tell its been a long time since we have had a hard 2-3 day freeze in Florida. Warming trends are great for us palm growers but trends do reverse themselves. I am always on the edge down here as one good freeze or hurricane can make me start all over again (for the third time!)

On the other hand if Central Florida gets hit, and I don't it, is good for business.

Sorry for the gloomy look at your pix. It is fun to see what you can do with some extra effort!
