Palm Curtain


The Garfield Park Conservatory has what they think is the world's largest Double Coconut Palm growing under glass. They grew it from seed, which weighs 50 pounds, in 1959 -- making this plant 50 years old this year. The Double Coconut Palm is only found in nature in the Seychelle Islands, off the coast of southern Africa.
