Looks like a peacock tail!
I have seen palms like these in the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow.
I like ’em they are cool …

What an amazing palm. Not sure I’ve seen one like that before.
It’s rather majestic, and pano photography helped with this one, as it was right night to the bathrooms, and no way to get the angle …

Thanks Irene, much appreciated 🙂
I saw my first fan palm at Caribelle Batik in St. Kitts. They’re amazing in person and much bigger than you would imagine!
🙂
Wooow.. nice one! 🙂
Thanks 🙂
You’re welcome, DC! 🙂
We have so many wonderful species of palms in Southern California, but I’ve never even seen a photo of this amazing palm. I love it! 🙂
Thanks, sorry for late reply, it’s been hectic !
Is that a travellers’ palm?
Correct, but I only found that out after I posted it, doh ! warm regards DC
It looks like a dinosaur made of palm fronds….interesting. I want to go to Thailand. This place looks cool!
aloha Don Charisma – i know this tree as Traveler’s Tree. because at one time it was planted outside of locations where hospitality was given to travelers. spotting this tree meant you’d found a place to stay and get something to eat/drink.
i see them frequently here in Hawaii.
Yes, it seems that I’m learning new names ! and now I have a story to go with it too 🙂 thanks very much DC
On a very rainy day in England, it’s super to see sunshine and such a beautiful picture. Thank you!
Welcome, I have to report it’s hot here and no rain … sorry 🙂 DC
