Description
I found this palm last year; it was on the sale table and looked so pathetic. Most of the fronds were broken, but I brought it home and put it on my little patio. It likes it there, and has grown into a very lovely plant.

Mutual admiration, you like it and it likes you. Nice macro and crop. Well done.

(My server's so slow tonight, it's taking me 3 times as long to do anything...hope you didn't get tons of ebots...) You captured the fan beautifully, and I agree with Bill, your crop is really nice: It cuts off the fronds in a way that leaves the motion inside 'us', carries it beyond the frame. Very nice shot, and a nice story of how you rescued it. I've always thought plants went through a 'dark journey' to find their destined owners, like they had to languish on a sale-table so they could find their pre-destined home. Nice work all around. Hope it continues to flourish.

A great compo! I don't 'do' palms, the last one kept attacking me and making me bleed so I set fire to it(!)

Wonderful job on bringing it back to life Marilyn and so often just showing a little love to a plant or animal and giving it a home can work miracles.

We had these in the front yard growing up in the LA suburbs; I remember them as being very messy (with all those strings) and very fast-growing! You make it look nice again, great composition!

Superb palm and shot! I don't have a garden as such but I live on the ground floor of appartments. there are grass surroundings with one or two trees so I planted a few snowdrops at the base of the trees. They have grown but without any flowers! bad luck I suppose (again) Well! nothing new there then lol.

Very nice. I was given one 2 years ago that was only a small brown trunk with one brown stalk out of the top. Now it has 6 fronds and is nearly waist high. Great shot.

Oh, that's what those are called. Nice shot of this one, although it seems to be unravelling. I see them here and there during my walks around the area.
