I actually like that first pic. Love the CIDP's. Reminds me of Vegas. I wish I had one of those.
Next on my list!
2nd pic. Looks like a Christmas tree not a palm. lol

A few years ago, that place had a plastic palm with a Trachy trunk, topped with plastic
banana leaves, didn't see it this time.
The detail on the CIDPs is incredible, really well done:

The palms in the other pic WERE plastic Christmas tree branches, with a burlap trunk and base over wood.
The guy probably started out to make a cat-scratching post and got a little carried away.

Barb those plastico palms are always good for a laugh. The ones in Vernon remind me of a Boston fern palm. You know the ones that grow near Boston LOL
