A lone palm sways in the tropical tradewinds on Kama’ole Beach, Maui.
Visited the Botanical Garden this am and found this really unusual Tree, these are the Flowers, the stem and trunk are covered in spikey bits.The fruit is as large as coconuts and similar looking though without husks, hence the name Cannonball, apparently they are edible but the smell puts People off. / The Flowers smell lovely. / The Trees are grown from seeds and originally came from South America.

This was my first vision as I crawled out of my tent at Waianapanapa, near Hana, Maui. Not too shabby, I thought to myself. Rarely on Maui is the wind calm enough to shoot an HDR turning the knobs slowly through 6 exposures. It worked. This is now a best-seller in my gallery!
I love lazy days fossicking on the beach. There should be an eighth day in every week just for this :) Cocos (keeling) Islands For enquires about canvas prints, or photographic prints larger than Redbubble options, please contact me via bubblemail

The difference with the Golden palm and the Green Coconut palm is the color of the fruit. The Golden Malayan having a gold coloured fruit. The Coconut Palm is the most universally known palm tree. It is the first thing most people think of when the words “palm tree” are spoken. With good reason too, the coconut palm is found throughout tropical regions around the world, though it originates in the south pacific and Caribbean. Information Source: The Golden Malayan Coconut Palm Moku Coconut Palm Frond Weaving “This beautiful palm embodies the romance of the tropics and is also of great economic value. There are many varieties, from dwarfs to the familiar tall growing types that reach 50-80 ft. All have graceful gray trunks topped by a crown of pinnately compound yellow-green leaves. Each leaf is 12-15 ft long with many leaflets. This is an extremely important plant, including . It appears that Coconut Palms were introduced throughout the Tropics and the Hawaiian islands by ancient Polynesians. Coconut fibers were used to make twine by Ancient Hawaiians. The Hawaiians evidently grew two types of coconut. One was best for making rope and the other was best for consumption. The scientific name for coconut is Cocos nucifera. The Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the Family Arecaceae. Coconut trees are palms that grow up to 90 feet high grow throughout the tropics. , they Their trunks are ringed with scars where old leaves have fallen. The top of the trunk is crowned with a rosette of leaves. Leaves are feather-shaped and split into lots of leaflets. Long leaves can grow up to 20 feet long and can have 250 leaflets. They are used for matting, weaving and thatching. Flowers – male and female flowers grow on the same plants on flowering branches. Flowers are pale yellow and are about 1 cm long. The base of flowering branches are tapped for sap. Coconut fruits are oval and covered with a smooth skin which can be bright green, brilliant orange or ivory coloured. Underneath this skin is a thick fibrous layer which is used for coir. The next layer is the shell of the seed with the three characteristic ‘eyes’. The shell may be used to make charcoal and eating utensils. The inside of the shell is lined with a white, edible layer called the meat. This is also made into chemical, industrial and medicinal products. The fluid inside the seed cavity is known as coconut water (not milk). When seeds germinate, the new shoot sprouts from one of the eyes. The coconut is the only species in the genus Cocos. In India it has been called the ‘tree of heaven’ or ‘kalpavriksha‘. Coconut palms are known as the ‘Tree of Life’ because of their huge variety of uses. The large spirally arranged leaves are up to 12 feet or more in length, and are pinnately divided into numerous strap shaped segments. The separate male and female flowers are in axillary panicles. The male flowers have 3 yellow petals and 2 stamens. The ovoid coconut is up to a foot long, and is composed of a thick fibrous husk, a hard shell, and a single seed with the copra lining the interior, and water (coconut milk) filling the cavity when it is young. Coconut palms have two natural subgroups simply referred to as “Tall” and “Dwarf”. Most commercial plantings use high yielding, longer lived Tall cultivars, and each region has its own selections, e.g., ‘Ceylon Tall’, Indian Tall’, ‘Jamaica Tall’ (syn. ‘Atlantic Tall’), ‘Panama Tall’ (syn. ‘Pacific Tall’). The Tall cultivar group is sometimes given the name Cocos nucifera var. typica, and the dwarf cultivar group C. nucifera var. nana. Samoan Coconut Trees are in this dwarf group. Dwarf cultivars, particularly the popular ornamentals, are largely self-pollinating as opposed to the Tall cultivars of commerce which rarely pollinate themselves. Coconuts are large, dry drupes, ovoid in shape, up to 15” long and 12” wide. The exocarp or skin is green, yellow, or bronze-gold, turning to brown, depending on cultivar and maturity. The mesocarp is fibrous and dry at maturity; the product coir is derived from this layer. The endocarp is the hard shell enclosing the seed. Seeds are the largest of any plant, and have a thin brown seed coat. Seeds are filled with endosperm, which is solid and adherent to the seed coat, and also in liquid form, called “milk”. Copra is derived from the solid endosperm Coconut is a pan-tropical species usually found in humid coastal areas between latitudes 26 degrees north and south. The origin of this plant is uncertain, but many experts believe it’s from the west Pacific and Indian Ocean islands.” /
One late afternoon while sitting and relaxing on the balcony of our room at the hotel, after a long and straining roasting day :)) at the Las Galeras beach:)), I was listening and admiring the wonderful music provided by the multiple birds in the surrounding gardens…I heard a ruffle of coconut leafs just beside the ramp of my balcony, turned my head and just before my eyes, spotted a rare sight …a green heron was just standing on a branch leaning and looking down at the ground under , luck was on my side as I had my camera close by on the little patio table , just in time to put it on the ramp of the balcony and aimed at the bird before he flew down on the grass probably to look at what seemed to be the egg that had just fallen out of his nest.
