About The Coconut Palm is a member of the Family Arecaceae. It is the only species in the genus Cocos, and is a large palm, growing to 30 m tall, with pinnate leaves 4-6 m long, pinnae 60-90 cm long; old leaves break away cleanly leaving the trunk smooth. The term coconut refers to the fruit of the coconut palm.

The coconut palm is grown throughout the tropical world, for decoration as well as for its many culinary and non-culinary uses; virtually every part of the coconut palm has some human use
The origins of this plant are the subject of controversy, with most authorities claiming it is native to South Asia (particularly the Ganges Delta), while others claim its origin is in northwestern South America. Fossil records from New Zealand indicate that small, coconut-like plants grew there as long as 15 million years ago. Even older fossils have been uncovered in Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, (India) and the oldest known so far in Khulna, Bangladesh. Regardless of its origin, the coconut has spread across much of the tropics, probably aided in many cases by sea-faring peoples. The fruit is light and buoyant and presumably spread significant distances by marine currents. Fruits collected from the sea as far north as Norway have been found to be viable. The only two states in the U.S. where coconut palms can be grown and reproduced outdoors without irrigation are Hawaii and Florida.
The flowers of the coconut palm are polygamomonoecious, with both male and female flowers in the same inflorescence. Flowering occurs continuously, with female flowers producing seeds. Indonesia is world leader in Coconut production followed by Philippines and then India.

Anyway, this was awsome, laying there with my feet up, how relaxing, just a bit scared some of these nuts would drop down on me;)))
Hope you have a relaxed day too, Jenx

Close my eyes and drift away...

I'm checking in on an old machine on a new network, just to see if everything is working. And this shot looks excellent to me!

if you were there you would have been fast enough
to catch it for me...or Bangee???:)))

It looked like I was relaxed dear Alida, but wasnt really like that, I had a lot of hassle to lay like this, to get my feet in focus and taking care not getting one of those coconuts falling on my head..lolll They looked like really ripe, so didnt want to move the tree as well...;))
Thanks for your sweet comment, be well and enjoy your day, big hugs, Jenxx

Thanks dear Bobot, you might, I am sure you are
right about the feet and meters..loll Might have
looked too much at my own feet...:))) And I dont
like my toes at all, so please don't mention
them...they look awful:( I was especially worried
about the camera, what if something fell on
that??? Wishing you a great day, hugs Jenxx

Jen van Wijn Jen van Wijn   {K:24075} 4/7/2008
Yoú could be right about my toes, but think there was enough on it...lolll Maybe you can help me with that??? I know these coconuts were on sharp, can see at the colours, but it was something I HAD to do...was think of it for hours already, it looks easy but to get my feet on was difficult in this position...loll
So, yes a bit mad I might have been...was more worried about the camera though...lollll
Thanks a lot and hope to see you soon, sleep well!! Big hugs Uncle, Jenxx

It really was amazing dear Marian, specially
being there with my daughter, she loved it and we
swam a lot together, it was our first far trip
together and she still wants to go back to this
island, just like me:) But this year we will leave
for South Africa together, thats still my fav continent as you might have seen:))
Hopefully she will like it there as well, hoping you had a lovely weekend, big hugs Jenxx

I finally can reply on you comment dear Nicki, was not very nice not to be able to have a look at UF yesterday, but gave me a good opportunity to do something else:) Hope your weather wasnt too bad?
Yes I do love coconut, the milk is just
delicious, dont you think so?? I still love it in
any kind, like shampoo, chocolate, showergel..loll
Today it has been freezing, ice on the cars, but
now sunny, I need some tan!!!
Have a wonderful day, hope you did relax as well, even without coconuts hanging above you;) Big hugs and kiss Jen

wow! what a point of view.. relax and easy Sunday under the coconut tree.
I was reading your about, maybe a little correction about the unit used.. maybe it's 30 feet not 30 meters.. we have lots of this coconut here.. dangerous to stay under when there is a mature nut up there...:)
good shot Jen!
regards..
lovely long toes..;)

Great shot. I think one more coat of paint on the big toe would have been better. There is a little chip on the end. YOUR CRAZY.:)))) In a nice way. What if a coconut had come down. We may not get any more pics to look at if that had hapenned. Only kidding Jen. I love your crazyness.:)) Makes your pics really interesting. This a fantastic composition and beautiful. :)))) Hugs xx Keith
