Alice, the Bismark is one of the few palms I actually like! I love the color. That waterfall is beautiful! That's one of the things I miss living in flat old Florida....streams & hills and mountains and REAL waterfall...not to mention chipmunks & lilac bushes and weeping willow trees....I could go on forever, which is why my dream is to move out of this steamy, tropical 'hell' at some point to a quiet little place in the Smokey's, with a stream flowing through it and real trees all over the place..............
