Sometimes I just go to random places to see what kind of vegetation/climate those places have!Kind of cool to see limits of certain tropical plants.

And the Everglades!

Or perhaps you prefer the dry sandy desert to view palms while taking footage via camel back...

Heard about this "street view" on local TV within just the last few weeks. Here's directions: Right turn at first dune, travel 5600 camel steps to lone palm tree, make a left at the mirage and continue to the sea or until you die of thirst, which ever comes first...at which time you will have arrived at your final destination.

Zone 9b (formerly listed as Zone 9a); Sunset 14

The Florida beach "street view" project got some support from the state. Locally, at our own little South Beach, the project managed to catch a surfer and the coconut that grew from a nut that someone seems to have plopped off to the side of a boardwalk.

That must be a pretty common thing for people to do with sprouted coconuts that they find! There's one just like that on Lido Key in Sarasota.

A ideal location for a cocos creates a nice silhouette against the setting sun for the tourist.I won't be surprised if those sea grape bushes are hiding some cocos seedlings!

The thicket at our South Beach could really use a visit from a Florida Park Service fire crew. They're really good at setting fires around buildings and boardwalks without causing damage or even flustering beachgoers (I have some photos of such a fire at Sebastian Inlet). Right now, the area is so dense, I doubt there's any more coconuts coming up. Plenty of beach naupaka, Scaevola taccada, a common shrub from Hawaii to east Africa but a pest in the Caribbean. Also lots of gray nickerbean, botanical barbed wire.

Today, the beach had some semi-messy 3' surf and a few surfers.

With fire comes life...nutrients from the ashes and abundant sunlight to help young plants grow again.
