| Wow, it sure is HOT, could you fan me please!
If this is the Strelitzia family, I can't believe it's related to the Bird-of-Paradise! I've never seen anything like this before! Did you take this photo yourself?

| I took the pic in front of our hotel on Christmas day in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. I posted one or two others with Santa's sleigh out front. We spent the holidays there, wonderful 85 degrees every day. Unfortunately, the tan is now fading back here in the teens and snow LOL! |

| I agree, haighr. These are amazing palms. They look so neat in their habit. I wonder if they are the result of careful trimming or training as they grow. |

| Thanks so much for this photo.
I found one of the marvelous plants in the world when I visited singapore last month. I asked many peoples the name of this plant but failed to
get the correct name. I surprised one more time to know that the name is traveler's palm. This plant might attract the traveler's interesting only other than resident.
