Description
I love how this grouping of palm trees seem to curve in the same way. I took this at Coronado Springs resort in Orlando Florida on a beautiful January day. We were visiting from Missouri where it was in the teens and in Orlando it was a perfect 60 and 70 degrees. Palm Trees (Arecaceae) are a botanical family of perennial climbers, shrubs, acaules and trees. They are flowering plants, a family in the monocot order Arecales. Currently 181 genera with around 2600 species are known, most of them restricted to tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts.
Palms are among the best known and most extensively cultivated plant families. They have been important to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms, and palms are also widely used in landscaping, making them one of the most economically important plants. In many historical cultures, palms were symbols for such ideas as victory, peace, and fertility. For inhabitants of cooler climates today, palms symbolize the tropics and vacations.
