This is my neighbor's coconut tree, which I have painted many times. I
envy them those coconuts! We had a coconut tree until the freeze of 1989, and when it froze I gave up on growing coconuts; if I had only known about climate change then I would have immediately replanted. Now I grow tropical plants and never have one freeze. It's small consolation for the scorching summers.
In the foreground are my allamandas on our
purple screen, a bit of whimsy we added to the garden.
