Coconut Palm Trees

3/30/2017

0 Comments

 
There is nothing so tropical as a coconut palm tree.  This place is littered with them.  

        But where did they come from?  

​        Why are they here? 

        Are they native to the Caribbean?  

​        Who knows.  
​

        Does it really matter? 

​Coconuts will float on water.  They've been known to travel on water for over a hundred days and still germinate after reaching land.  They (the ubiquitous "they" -  the conspiratorial "they" - I'm imaging scientists, naturalists, biologists, botanists, some sort of "ist") recon that coconuts can travel over 3000 miles and still be viable. Pretty cool I think.  My skin puckers after about 1/2 and hour.

They are tall, slender, curvy and very pleasing to look at.  
​There are thousands of different kinds of palm trees and their bark and structure can be quite different which I also find fascinating.

I love taking walks seeing all kinds of tropical plants. Coconut palms are amongst my favorites.

I thought I would draw one.  I'm including a video of the drawing here cuz they're fun as well.  

​I hope you enjoy.
