The double coconut from this palm tree can weigh as much as 40-45 pounds each :eek: and are the largest seeds on planet earth. Taken last weekend at the Garfield Park Conservatory, Chicago, IL

Wow that would make a really big coconut pie! I like the lines and the different shades of green.

Vic, great lines and composition! I can also see a second image as well, cropping about 30% off the top, to create a more abstract image.
