Palm Tree Paradise

Here are some pictures of some palm trees I took yesterday.



This is a picture of a Date Palm.  It can grow over 23 metres tall and over 150 years old.


This looks like a Panama Hat Plant.  The leaves of this plant are woven to make Panama Hats.



Here is Flat Stanley with what looks like a Miniature Fishtail Palm.  This type of palm is the only one that has leaves that are subdivided twice.  In India people eat the starch from the stem and eat the palm heart.



Yesterday Flat Stanley was out for a walk.  He saw an alligator who just finished reading the Gingerbread Man story and offered Stanley a ride to the other side of the lake to explore.  Flat Stanley said yes.  Once Stanley realized the alligator had bad breath and sharp teeth he quickly jumped out of the alligator's mouth and back around the bend and home.

  1. Poor Flat Stanley is having quite a time on this trip. I am so glad he escaped the alligator.
