Palm Princess

The Palm tree is called the princess of the vegetable kingdom. Neither the anatomy of the Palm tree stems nor the conformation of their flowers, however, entitles them to any such high position in the vegetable hierarchy. Palm tree stems are not more complicated in structure than those of the common butcher?s broom (Ruscus); their flowers are for the most part as simple as those of a rush (Juncus). But they rise above th rest and are often beautiful. And that's enough for me.
