PALM TREE IN MY GARDEN

I see this beautiful palm tree from my bedroom window.
...................
The common name of this palm tree is Chinese fan palm and the scientific name is Livistona chinensis. This palm tree is a genus of 28 species of palms (family Arecaceae) . The Chinese fan palm is native to southern Japan, Taiwan and several islands in the South China Sea. In Portuguese it's common name is "palmeira-leque-da-china".

  5. ..as I sit here in the 20's degrees- it's always nice to see your GREEN pictures :) I think of all the things people could use the palm for if you were stranded on an island!

  6. That's the wonderful thing about living in the same house for decades, you get to see beautiful things grow and flourish over the years. All the beautiful trees you've planted so long ago are real treasures. I'm sure you love each one of them dearly.

  14. Sonia, I just love that last picture of the bottom part of The Palm....
    I have a couple of Palms down nelow, and I love that there are all sorts of other plabts growing in the bottom...Ferns, and the Red Tree, etc....
    The furry hairy stuff is very very pretty....I know what a thrill it is to have watched this Palm grow over these 32 years....! Mine has been down there for 20 years and I was told it wouldn't really get big.....LOL! THey were wrong!

  15. The trunk of the palm is really spectacular! Do you often search the shadow under the palm?

    ReplyDelete
  16. lovely, especially the textures and patterns in the bottom one. It must be great getting to see the fruits of your labour, we have developed so many gardens over the years, then moved before getting to see them fully established.

  18. Very interesting Sonia. I like all that dried grassy looking stuff!

    How wonderful to watch it grow all these years!! So pretty!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Well Sonia, you may live wayyyy across the ocean from me, but we have the same tree in our yards! LOL
    Ours isn't as big as this one, and yours is just gorgeous!!


    I have a photography meme that I'm doing, which I think you'd be PERFECT for.

    Would you (and your readers) like to join me? Bring your camera and come on over to my site for details!

    I think you all might like this one. :)

  22. Faltou dizer: MUITO BEM TRATADAS!

  23. Bem áspera essa aí. Tenho uma parecida (uma washintonia, acho que se escreve assim) só que tem quase 2o metros.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Existem coisas na natureza só para o nosso deslumbramento, e nem é necessário tocá-las para sentir suas texturas.
    Amei as fotos dos detalhes do tronco da palmeira. Que maravilha esse emaranhado de fibras, vivas que abraçam e envolvem essa belissima árvore.
    Bem as suas fotos sempre belas e quando você se aproxima mais e as trás em close então, são maravilhosas e nota a sua percepção sensível para captar esses detalhes.
    Arte na fotografia também tem seus consceitos dentro do modernismo é claro, porque tudo evolui.
    Bjs

  25. Linda a Palmeira em leque, Sônia. E essa teve bastante espaço para se expandir, ficou magnífica.
