The big Palm tree that grows in the middle of the downstairs back patio became miraculously white. Palm is a tropical evergreen tree of the family of the palmaceae characteristically having unbranched trunk with a crown of large pinnate or palmate leaves.
In botany, an evergreen plant is a plant that has leaves all year round. This contrasts with deciduous plants, which completely lose all their foliage for part of the year.
A leaf or frond of a palm was carried as an emblem of victory, success or joy. It was indeed a frantic joy to see the long leaves of my palm tree covered with snow. Snow in Millbrook, Elmore County, Alabama can be considered a miracle of nature.
It was so nice to swim in the enclosed, warm water swimming pool and watch the fluffy snow flakes fall all around us through the glass doors, as it covered the ground and whiten the trees and shrubs. It was like living a spectacular dream.
