| Palmtrees at the holiday park Cascades |
With thanks to Denise Nesbitt, who created ABC, and thanks to Roger. For more interesting ABC posts click on the logo in the sidebar. This week we are looking for words beginning with P.
Being in the Botanic Gardens of Cooktown we saw a lot of Palmtrees. Some of them are really very beautiful and colourful. Like the Foxtail Palm.
This Foxtail Palm was only found in a very small part of Australia on the boulder strewn, exposed gravel hills of Cape Melville Range on Cape York Peninsula. That is not far from where my daughter lives. Now it is one of the most popular palms in the world and grown in many places outside Australia.

Thank you for telling me about the Fox Tail Palm! I posted the berries today in my Hawaii Daily Photo and din't know their name, Wil!
Pretty! You don't see palm trees in my part of the world!
ROG, ABCW
Beautiful Palm Trees. They remind me of the coconut trees when I live in the Philippines.
wat zijn ze toch altijd weer indrukwekkend hè?
Ik zag ze voor het eerst echt zelf (in de buitenlucht dus...) toen ik in 2012 op Gran Canaria was...
Schitterende fotos weer... zeker nu we hier in sneeuw ondergedompeld zijn ;-(
Lieve groet, ♫ M e l o d y ♫
Great shots, Wil. People don't believe me when I say we have palm trees here in Vancouver. Yes! They're hardy palms but they thrive here.

I've seen palm Trees as tall as these in The Canary Isles, off the coast
of N.W. Africa.
Smashing pictures too!
Best wishes,

Beautiful photos. Palm trees are another great choice for the letter P! You have lots of great ones here.
Beautiful pictures! I grew up in Florida with lots of palm trees. Alas, they can't grow here in the mountains of western North Carolina.
Beautiful, Wil. Very different from the country here but I can imagine how pleasant it would be....
Very nice pictures :)
I live in the Netherlands and here you have no palm trees.
Have a nice day
Wonderful series of photos for P ~ looks like a very elegant place to enjoy ~
Happy Week to you ~ ^_^
Happy King's Day Wil!
Oooh, the red fruit of that palm tree (I've already forgotten its name) is brilliant. I'd plant that tree just for the redness of the fruit.
Gorgeous palm! In my part of the world I see them often, have a few smaller varieties growing in my garden also, still on the young side. But still :)
I just came back from Southern France where I wandered under Palm trees ! But they also grow at the Southern coast of England amazingly ! Apparently it was the English who planted the palm trees at the French Riviera !
I can almost feel the breeze as the palms are swaying through your gorgeous photographs. Blessings!
