Veitchia merrillii (Christmas Palm) Aka Manila Palm, and formerly known as Adonidia merrillii, is native to the Philippines but has been cultivated throughout the world’s tropics for many centuries. It has naturalized in the Caribbean and other subtropical regions, where it’s hardy only to 10-12 USDA zones.
It grows fairly quickly to a height of about 6 feet, but very slowly thereafter, retaining its proportions for a long time, however, in P.R. this palm can grow up to 35 ft., as seen in this image which had to be taken with a wide angle lens.

I’m gonna put a battery light in the church, so when it gets dark the church will have a light inside.
Have a great weekend.

The CDC’s ineptitude was proven – yet again – with the fact that they admitted that Ebola can now spread through the air, despite them saying not long ago contradictory statements.

Tell Lonely Author About Your Likes/Dislikes
Since I’ve joined Blogville I have refrained from participating in Awards and Tag games. I think it is wonderful, entertaining, unfortunately, I don’t have the time.
In 2016 I am planning a full marketing assault of biblical proportions (okay, I will rephrase that).
I will try very hard (just doesn’t sound the same).
In addition to querying literary agents about my manuscripts, in 2016 my marketing campaign will include queries to Hollywood agents about my screenplays & the submissions of these scripts to screenwriting contests.
So, if your interested in learning a little more about Lonely Author here is a little bit of info about the Man, the Myth, the Moron.
