So, anyone have big plans for our major holiday? Where we exalt Psalm 92:12 ("The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree....")?
I'm going to be a heretic and go to an orchid show. 😆

An orchid show sounds nice..........I love getting into greenhouses and checking out plants............I need to go to Logees again.....not that far from me.

We ought to commercialize Palm Sunday like other holidays. I'm thinking of the Alux (sort of a Maya leprechaun) leaving presents under the palm tree? (Wikipedia on Aluxob if you are really bored: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alux).
The same places that sell Christmas Trees in December would sell Palm trees in March!
Seriously, though, palm Sunday is a conservation problem as leaves of palms like Chameadorea are poached for church services.
