Feelin hot hot hot.

It was nice to get home and sit quietly in the shade of this beast of a plant. It may look upside down to you but it was the right way round when I leaned back and took the picture.
It's not a plant I would have chosen to grow in our little garden but my dad turned up with it one of the few times he's remembered the girls birthdays. It was Elsa's third or fourth and he remarked that the palm was about the same size as her. Its now about fifteen feet high and doesn't look in danger of stopping growing anytime soon.
