Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

You can really see the natural blue and green coloration of this leaf.

My favorite pic of the Thai giant.......only mid July and already huge!
But probably only hours from being split in half by 60+mph winds.
🙁 😀

Aaron, your AZ photo reminds me of last week's gardening show on Italy.
Beautiful!
My jaw hung open throughout the whole program.
Jim,
Cool shot of light on that leaf.
Kind of a purplish look to Bizzie leaves too.

As far that is one of my favorite palm pic - Giant palm from Lumpini Park in Thailand. Found in internet. Take a look.
Keep exoting!

Godfryd, the palms in that photo look like being back in another time....almost prehistoric. Wow 😯
Thailand is a paradise for magnificent plants.
Paul, what a gorgeous hotel scene! 😛

Probably a good story behind that...can't even guess!
Love the tile mosaic and the old castle. 😀

Aaron, I wish I know the name of that giant palms in Bangkok (Lumpini Park) but I couldn't find anywhere.
I really like giant plants, specially giant palms. Please look at another one:
Keep exoting!

Great pics, everyone!
The genus of large palms is called Corypha.

Here's my favourite 2011 pic (although not as professional as some of the others here 😆 )
It's showing the first partially divided frond on my T. fortunei seedlings!

Congratulations Cameron.
Quite a feat, and certainly worth the wait.
