Seem like they got artifically "embellished".

Palmpedia shows a lot of photos of CIDP which look like these from Andalucia in their Image Gallery.
Phoenix canariensis - Palmpedia

Phoenix cross pollinate easily, so it could be a hybrid.

Light patchy frost here. Low was 36.5° at 5:00am. 260' elevation. I'm such a doof for not putting thermometer on the lawn. Damn. Guess it was at freezing down there. Proof frost happens with air temp of 36-37F



Edit: BTW, last yr 1st time for frost was October 25th here. Same thing patchy & on grass & car. Been earlier last 4yrs

Might be hard to see with the naked eye but the Hickory was bare last year and the trees were thinner. In 2007 and 2011 there was more green. Check out the Sugar Maple color in 2011.
