Potted CIDP in Luxembourg Gardens, Paris, France

Friends are touring France and sent this pic of a magnificent specimen.
Yes, all the potted palms are brought in for winter.

Wow...Wonder where this giant fits in winter.

Friends sent another pic.
I'm impressed with the quantity and quality of palms on display in Paris...
