Coconut is truly tropical, designed to migrate to faraway lands. It's within the belt of equator that the plant or tree thrive. Tropical beaches will not be complete without tall coconut trees which will sway sweetly in tune with rhythm of the wind. The coconut with thick lightweight husk will be able to float and will flow along the river or sea. Coconut will reach the land and grow.. That's how coconut conquer tropical islands and beaches. Only with the intervention of man, that coconuts are domesticated into plantations for commercial purposes...
The tree will get old, as anything else coconut trees has to go through different phases... and the look is fairly interesting...

Hi Bangchik, haven't seen you for a while. Those scenes are really very common with us, and mushrooms growing on them, we have a few species.
ReplyDeleteAndrea... It was a lot easier to squeeze blogging within 24hr day the last few years. I still enjoy gardening and understanding things around us.. haha.
DeleteI love the way you write, so lyrical and still very informative.
ReplyDeleteSara... thanks for the compliments. I am still a gardener (part-time), trying to understand more and more about plant kingdom.
DeleteKak Dah hometown must be very intresting place! Nice mushrooms on the tree trunk!
ReplyDeleteMalar... long time no see, kakdah hometown is Sitiawan and mine is Pantai Remis, about 30km apart, but both are coastal towns. So coconut trees, sandy soil, mangroves are very much our intimate vocabulary!. That colourful mushroom is not edible.. haha.
