Gee, whiz! I was impressed when Ray Stevens grew palm trees in Branson. Canada’s got that beat by miles. ---

After I posted about the palm trees in Victoria, a friend mentioned that her folks have a cottage for sale on [Savary Island](http://www.prcn.org/prvb/vbsavary.html). This island is north of Courtenay, opposite Powell River (well north of Nanaimo, about halfway up the island). And the cottage has a palm tree in the front yard… I saw a picture of the cottage, but the palm tree was not very distinguishable. * * * Rigardu, kaj vi ekvidos.
