I checked in on Shorpy earlier today and found this fantastic old photo showing coconut palms along Lake Worth. How did those trunks end up so curvy?

Check it out:

It looks like that could be Henry Flagler himself in that pedicab. On those curvy coconuts, the old Jamaican-Me-Crazy Tall variety often had a lot of curves to them. That particular group looks as if they had been naturally curving out over the water and someone thought they should grow straight up instead, so they reset them. Just my theory.

So many species,

so little time.
