We confess to being stymied by this one...a dwarf palm of some sort with a bale of hay for a trunk! Or perhaps it's Cousin It holding up those fronds.

About Us
- Candy and Bendy
- Anna Maria Island, Florida, United States
- Candy Conte (the Daughter) and Bendy Payne (the Mother), live on beautiful Anna Maria Island. Candy shares her home with her husband, Vinnie Conte, a Certified Financial Planner, sometimes-actor on stage at the Island Players, and super nice guy. They have two daughters, Gioja and Alex, and a fabulously handsome and talented son-in-law, Jared Lacy. Other members of the family are Baby, a chihuahua who likes to terrorize blue herons, and Bug Foo, Kung Foo Mastah and Gennaman, a wonderful Tibetan Spaniel/Shitzu mix who loves EVERYTHING and is almost a perfect dog, except for his unfortunate fondness for lifting his leg inside the house. A relatively recent addition to the family is Alex's son Jack, known to many islanders as "Mr. Baby." They like to say that Jack and Bug Foo are brothers, but it really isn't true, although Mr. B. does drive Buggy to distraction, just like a little brother should! Bendy shares her home with husband Howard Payne, a noted tax attorney who loves to do battle with the IRS. Candy refers to her beloved parents as "The Sainted Ones."
NB from the authors: Mom's landscaper tells her that this is a Grandfather Palm Aptly nameed!
ReplyDeleteAuthors' correction to the correction! I was at the Thomas Edison Estate in Ft. Myers on Sunday, where I saw this exact palm labeled "Old Man Palm," rather than "Grandfather Palm."
